Impressive breeder support for today´s stallion show at Van Olst Horses
The early spring weather was also lovely in Den Hout today in the Netherlands, the home town of Van Olst Horses.
This year´s stallion show was planned to be at the outdoor arena, and a huge grand stand was placed at the one long side, and around the arena it was packed with spectators - about 1.500 people were gathered around the arena for the stallion show.
All stallions were very fresh and with super presentation mainly from Lottie Fry and Phoebe Peters. The two small young ladies showed the powerful well moving stallions one after the other.
Each stallion was presented by Gert Jan van Olst himself, with a lot of extra info about the dam lines. (in Dutch). At Clipmyhorse you also had the possibility to chose with English comments during the presentation.
The entire agenda from Van Olst Horses is to bred horses for sport, and of course with focus at Van Olst Horses for the big sport.
At the presentation of Secret Lover Gert Jan was telling that for the breeders who wants to use him for their mares, it was mandatory to bring the mare to the stud. Secret Lover has super quality semen, but unfortunately he does not deliver the required amount of semen for transport, and therefore the mares must be inseminated directly at the stud. A very honest and top service information.
A few foals were shown and both Nalegro and Lantanas offspring looks very promissing. Personal favorite stallions from H2R were: Nespresso, Nalegro, Lantanas, Everest, Secret Lover, Justin, Kjento and Glamourdale.
Of course the top of the entire show was with Lottie showing her World Champions. Kjento World Champion for Young Horses and double World Champion from last year in Herning Glamourdale. They looked STUNNING, so much power, ability and quality in one package. About the offspring from Glamourdale Gert Jan was telling that some very interesting youngsters comes up as 3 year old this year (the first crop after Glamourdale became World Champion as 7 year old).
The entire stallion show is available at the archive at Clipmyhorse.
