The third phase of the BWP stallion approvals last weekend yielded three new stallions for our stud. They are:

• Vesper van 't Veer, a son of Heartbreaker out of the mare Geena van 't Roosakker (s. Darco). A descendant of the line of Usha van 't Roosakker.
• Viento de Muze, a homebred son of Quickly v/d Kruishoeve out of the mare River Kwai de Muze (s. ET Cryozootech). This stallion has Jeleena de Muze as great grandmother.
• Vino For Fun, a son by Verdi out of Luciana Diniz's top mare Fit For Fun.

For more details on these new stars, please refer to the -spoiler alert- new Gazette de Muze that will be published in April. Furthermore, the 4-year-old Uncle Joe van 't Meulenhof has equally been approved for BWP.

In the stallion competition, Tellini van 't Ruytershof shone brightly in the competition for 5-year-olds with a double clear round under Yarno Geeroms. In the 4-year-olds’ competition, Karline was clear for the third time in a row riding Ultra Flip de Muze. Uelo de Muze (Yarno Geeroms) and Kept Secret de l'Amitié (Jordy Oostvogels) also scored a clear round.
