IBOP has been evaluated in the Southern Netherlands by Petro Trommelen, Marcel Beukers and Luuk Smetsers. “The picture was very mixed today,” Pietro begins. “We saw very good horses, but also bottom. The stay was good and despite the bad weather last night everything was fine. It was noticeable that there were many cancellations and many horses not showing up. This is not a problem for us.” As a jury, but for the organization and for the horses in the waiting list, it’s upsetting.”

Tricky horse

Ortisei (GLOCK’s Toto Jr from Kassiopeia LH Elite IBOP-dres D-OC from Dream Boy) from breeder J. Groenhart of Hardinxveld-Giessendam scored an 8.5 in gait, endowment and efficiency as a dressage horse. “This is a strong horse who ran very well with plenty of range. It was noticeable that he continued to walk steadily, both in the lead and in the free stride. The trot has plenty of technique in the legs and lots of bend in the joints. He has also shown good use of the hind leg.” The canter is high with good balance. Particularly due to the stability of the base gait, we were able to give this horse an 8.5 for Build.”

Daughter of Vitalis

Naila (Vitalis from Ivory Elite-dres IBOP-dres PROK from Emerson) from breeder C. Heemskerk of Rijnsburg received an 8.5 for her gait, workability and workability. “She is a very convincing horse in all three basic gaits. She is not yet fully established in the lead but has nonetheless shown a very consistent performance in which she has worked very well. She walks clean, brisk and wide. At the trot she has a pleasant use of the front leg and has completed well from the rear.” She is able to achieve a lot of balance and again a very nice use of the front leg. This mare was appreciated during testing.”
