Youngsters

The various competitions under the Iberian spring sun always offer a platform for a whole bunch of young horses. This week we focus on the offspring of Elvis Ter Putte and El Torreo de Muze that stood out.

In Valencia, the 5-year-old El Star van 't Ameldonk Z (Andrew Saether) and the 6-year-old El Future van 't Ameldonk Z (Demi van Andel) delivered excellent publicity for their sire El Torreo de Muze. A little further down the road, in Vilamoura, it was Fulldollar De Raygade's turn to leave a great impression in the 6-year-olds competition.

The sons and daughters of Elvis Ter Putte continue to confirm as well. Irish du Caillou (7-year-olds, Letizia Malfanti), Loverboy B (5-year-olds, Stephi De Boer) scored in Oliva. Mathias Hazebroek did the same with Oliano G in the 7-year-olds in Lier and Rodrigo Bass with In and Out DB in Valencia.

In Vejer de la Frontera, Pieter Clemens took eighth place with Icarus (s. Querlybet Hero) in the GP. There was a win for Morton van 't Merelsnest (s. Nabab de Rêve) and Richard Vogel over 1.45m.

Lier

A tough GP in Lier still yielded a second place for the only 9-year-old Naturelle vh Legitahof Z (s. Nabab de Rêve) and Tristan Guisson. This combination also took a fifth place at 1.40m level.

In Royan, France, the 17-year-old Eros (s. Querlybet Hero) shone with Olivier Robert. The duo won a 1.40m class and finished third at the same height as well. Elize (s. Bamako de Muze) and Aymeric de Ponnat also made a good impression with a third place in the 1.45m class and a second place in the GP. In the latter class, Alexis Deroubaix and Kitona de Muze (s.
