Our young stallion Sambucci de Muze (Scendro x Vigo d'Arsouilles) finished tenth at the Dutch Championship for 6-year-olds last week. Three clear rounds earned him a place in the jump-off. Therein, he picked up four penalties under Luke Hill. This resulted in a great tenth place in the overall championship. Also qualified for the six-year-olds’ final were offspring by Vigo d'Arsouilles and Lector vd Bisschop. In the championship for 5-year-olds, we found offspring of Denzel van 't Meulenhof, Bamako de Muze and Vigo d'Arsouilles in the final. The championship for 7-year-olds yielded a spot in the final for a descendant of Vigo d'Arsouilles.

Belgian Championships 7-year-olds

Also striking were the performances by the offspring of Bamako de Muze at the Belgian Championships for 7-year-olds. In the final, we saw no fewer than five offspring by Bamako. The best result was achieved by Nick Bossaerts and Reykjavik Odeveld, who eventually finished 11th. We also saw descendants of Gino H, By Cera d'Ick and Elvis Ter Putte in the final.

There was also a top result at the Belgian Championships for 7-year-olds in eventing. Wouter De Cleene piloted Ragdoll de Tamise (s. Vigo d'Arsouilles) to second place.
