Jumping Hasselt, Catalano, Cyber van Vrijhern and Va-Vite succesful!

At the moment, we can think it's a dream. We have always had nice stallions, but now we have got 5 very competitive approved stallions at our stables.
Cento Lano and Opium de Salbris were not top fit to start in the Sires of the World and in the class for approved stallions of 6 years.
Our other 3 horses did it just perfect. Va-Vite, Cyber van Vrijhern and Catalano went double clear.
With Va-Vite, rider Wim Vinckx didn't take all the risk, and he became 6th in class for 6 years old (9th in the class for 6- and 7-years old).
Catalano and Cyber Van Vrijhern were in Moerzeke (in the second qualifier for the ranking "Hengstencompetitie") already first and second. In Hasselt they did it again!
When you take only the stallions of 6 years old, they were first and second in Hasselt as well!
Now they make a class for horses of 6 and 7-years old.
Karel Cox had a very fast time with Bufero van het Panishof. It was faster than the time of Cyber van Vrijhern, but not fast enough to beat Catalano.
Afterwoods, there has been a technical problem with the chrono in the jump off with the belgian rider Stefan Corten with his stallion Calvados Z.
The jury decided that Stefan Corten has won the class, so let it be.
We are very happy with our second place (Catalano), fourth place (Cyber van Vrijhern) and nineth place (Va-Vite)!
In the class of "the Sires of the world", there was a nice victory for the Belgian rider Yves Vanderhasselt, with Muscaris d'Ariel. They were already 3th in the Worldchampionships for horses of 7 years old.
Muscaris is owned by a very good friend of ours; Joris Van Dijck. Let us hope that Muscaris can stay for a long time in Belgium with Yves Vanderhasselt.
We hope to win in a few years that show class as well! We keep on dreaming with our very nice stallions!
