Today it was the first show ever for Marine de Fleur. Rider Jos Hazelhoff decided to do only 2 trainingsrounds (HC), 80 cm. One off in the first round, the second round was clear. She learned a lot today.
Yesterday Leon d' Usance and his rider Jos Hazelhoff started after a period of only training and no showd, at EDR Winschoten. First round, 1.10m was clear, even was the jump-off. And the second round, 1.20m was clear also and even so the jump-off. We were very satisfied with Leon's performance.

At Sonnega rider Dominique Veenstra started homebred Ellini in the Pr. St. George and the became first with 65 %.
In the second test, Ellini made a wrong step , therefor Dominique stopped. Now , a couple of weeks later, she is alright again. Our homebred broodmare Usance is gone.
It is a sad day. Since her quality of life decreased very fast. She was in lot of pain. But now her pain is gone. She was a lovely, strong personality. And she gave us beautifyl children. Rest in peace dear Usance. I just heard from the owner of homebred Henri d' Usance that they had to put him down today, since he was very ill. Only 11 years old, far too young.
At ReitturnierLaconnex in Switserland homebred Justine de Fleur ( by Highway TN out of FLeur d' Usance) came second with er owner / rider Eline Sabatini in the 1.10 m class and they were also clear in the 1.15m class, but not placed. Very well done.
Rider Jos Hazelhoff and Leon d' Usance went to Warga two weeks ago. At the moment they began their warming up it started raining. It rained cats and dogs, it was terrible. But Leon jumped a clear round in the 1.10m , so very well done. The second round, his first 1.20m class he had unluckely one down. But is rained so hard I could hardly see him jumping.
In januari 2023 I changed stable and rider for Leon d' Usance, the 7 yr old gelding by Grandorado. It is time for him to do perform at the shows.
Rider Jos Hazelhoff schooled and trained him very well, as I can see on the shows we went to the last couple of weeks. Starting in the 1.00m class he changed very fast into the 1.10 m class. He started 1.10m at the regional championships in Exloo. With a beautiful clear round he got a ticket for the second round. In this round he had sadly one down. Last saturday he started in Warga. It was raining cats and dogs and Jos and Leon d' Usance were hardly the last starter when they stopped the show due to very bad weather. With a clear round in the 1.10m and one down in the 1.20m we were very satisfied. As a 3 yr old mare we showed our Pascale d' Usance at the studbookshow in Exloo. With 75 points for her confirmation and 80 points for jumping ( even 85 points voor scope) we were very satisfied. She immediately got the predicate 'voorlopig keur' .
Our dressagemare Lichtblick ( Laurentio x Diamant Hit) gave birth in June 2023 to a colt. His father is the Oldenburg stallion Barton VDL ( Bordeaux x Sir Donnerhall I).
It is a beautiful very strond colt. |
