Patrik is this weekend in Marseille, with Sherlock K and Rapsody.

Patrik had planned to take Withney to Marseille, as a general repetion for the 5 stars in Mechelen.
She wasn't feeling that good, and it was better for her not to make the trip of 1.000 km to Marseille.
Everything will be alright for the Christmas Horse Show in Mechelen, let's hope so.

Patrik will participate in Marseille with Sherlock K and Rapsody.
During the day, he had time to follow the national classes. One of our horses jumped quite good, Anelka vd Dwerse Hagen(sire Premium). Always nice to see.
Vinca Major van Vlieringen is also there to jump the international classes with Pauline Guignery, and it's always nice to see her. But we see her quite often.

Patrik has seen an English rider, Paul Barker, who bought 12 years ago, one of our best horses at that time; Horfé De l'Europe (Sire: Bon Ami).
The name of Horfé de L'Europe has been changed to "Faraway Hills", and she had a lot of success, even in Worldcup-classes.
There has come an end at her sportif carreer, but she 's still healthy and she gave birth to her 3th foal.
Nice to hear that!
