Citizenguard Cadjanine Z wins World Cup WEF ! Daughter of Cadjanine in internet auction!

We prefer a lot of color rather than black and white, but sometimes a farewell also gives you a funeral mood. When Cadjanine left our stables, after being here for more than 5 years, it felt really strange. 


Cadjanine has left our stables, but she has always stayed in our hearts and memories.    We are really happy to see that she has won the World Cup in Florida.   There is for sure a wonderful job done by  a fantastic rider  Rodrigo Pessoa , but she jumps great anyway. This video makes it clear immediately. We had great times with Cadjanine , and she has also left here three offspring behind .
Three special ones , and we give a special occasion of   buying a daughter of Cadjanine in our internet auction.   Valeska is not really big in size, but she has got a big heart, really brave.

The bids are now possible .  Auction House  Troostwijk advises not to wait until the last moment . Best to check in advance that it works , that there is a valid e - mail address, etc. . Hotmail or gmail addresses won't be possible to do an offer.

In the Grand Prix CSI*** Dortmund, two ex-Stal Ceulemans horses competed . Katrin Müller informed us that the mare Felitia DH ( Querlybet Hero from the same dam as Westside vd Meerputhoeve ) is doing very well lately . She managed to qualify for the Grand Prix CSI *** Dortmund .  The second one is Dundee vd Dwerse Hagen, with Cameron Hanley.    This time there was one fence down for Dundee , but still placed  12th .

Also from this Dundee , we propose a half-brother to the Internet auction , with  Itou vd Dwerse Hagen.   Itou is a very nice one, keep an eye on him already .

Meanwhile, there are a lot of questions about how and why we organise these internet auction . And if this was a good idea?
We 'll know afterwards . In any case , I feel myself as responsible , because it was my idea.  I have seen we couldn't manage that big amount of horses, let's give the chance to other horse-lovers to buy a good horse for a nice price.
Let's get it smaller and easier to organise at home, we only have 24 hours a day.. 

To implement the idea, we now work together on and hope for a good result .

Two days after the closing date of March 25 , I'm lucky to be 40 years old.
It's not my style to celebrate it with a big party, but just small with family.  That will be nice already.. 
Sometimes we like to give a big party, for special occasions, so we do that with the CSI we are organising in June.   

Our family have been informed that in a dramatic development of the Internet auction that they may come dressed in black for a meal with coffee and bread .. If on the other hand the auction would be better as we expect, we know the horses would leave to nice people, nice stables, and that would be a moment to celebrate. 

In that case, everyone is asked to come in flashy colors
..  Let us hope that we may see our father  Jos Ceulemans  in a yellow jeans.  I haven't seen him like that in the past 39 years..

Saturday he was yet in funeral atmosphere when it appeared that our stallion Jericho ( Vertigo x Clinton ) did not make it on time to participate in the stallion competition in Gesves.

.
Geoffrey was left without GPS because he thought he knew  the way to Gesves by heart.  Some wrong decisions and exits made ​​it a really long ride where no end seemed to come.   It's no desaster, but of course a pity that Jericho couldn't show his quality and scope to the public of Gesves.
 
Donckevoort was in time for the 6-years old, and he gave color to our evening , he had just one fence down in the jump off, but a nice 6th place in the six -year-old stallions competition!

Some of the mares are in foal this Donckervoort , so that is also a welcome bonus . We are taking this auction for sure quite seriously , and hope it will work out . Everyone is welcome at the viewing days on March 19 and March 23. In advance , we will give a  time schedule, so you know what you can see/expect.


In the picture our pony Sunny recently at the national championships in the highest class 1.10m.  Our son Thibeau Spits has jumped his last competition in LRV with Sunny, and gives the chance to his little sisters Catherine and Lauranne to learn a lot on the back of Sunny. He 's a real schoolmaster.  Thibeau himself has got 5 other super poneys, so it will be a nice season.   Thibeau and Hightrick are the new champions LRV DL in style, in the speed class he won the Championships with Happy C.
