Donnatella; winner of the national championships (rural riders) 5 years old.
The national Championships for young horses (rural riders); it means a lot of people, a lot of very good horses.Our stallions Cyber van Vrijhern and Catalano had bad luck.
Catalano had one clear round, and 4 penalty points in the second round.
Cyber van Vrijhern had also one clear round, and he has been eliminated two times in 5 minutes in the second round.
The rider was not supposed to start before ringing the bell, that was the first time. But because the jury understood it was really a misunderstanding, because there were two showgrounds, the rider Itay Bliss, received a second chance. Because he was so nervous, he forgot to jump fence 7, and so Cyber was eliminated for the second time... Those things happens, but only on championships!
The Murphy law.
At the end of the day, we could forget all that, because one of our mares became the champion of the 5 years old. Donatella (Lys de Darmen x Capital) was one of the 45 horses in the jump off, but rider Bram Blockx succeeded to win the class. Congratulations to Bram and the whole team of our stable.
