As part of his Spanish adventures, Koen took two of our young stallions along to give them the necessary international experience. With good results. The 8-year-old Quickly v/d Kruishoeve (s. Mosito van het Hellehof) jumped a total of nine rounds and did not have a single fault. So 9/9 for this top talent. The 6-year-old Special Star de Corlato (s. Big Star) also showed his immense potential among the 6-year-olds with no fewer than six (double) clear rounds. Riding Oilily de Muze (s. Vigo d'Arsouilles), Koen also raced to fourth place in a 1.40m class.

Also in Oliva last week, Jérôme Guery jumped to two wins in 1.40m classes on Great Britain V (s. Nabab de Rêve).
