Sunday we had the last competition before the summer break. It was a bit of a rollercoaster....Rayane AE went in her 3rd ever test, the preliminar 4 year old and did super nice in spite of some tensions in the trot when the speakers were tested...a nice 3rd place with 68.8%. I had Qizomba AE in the 5 year old prelim, it was only his second time away from home (he did one 4 year old prelim in 2024) and he has discovered that he likes to show he is a full man....so it was "interesting". Luckily, he behaved well in the test although we were a bit fast...a decent 67% would have been the reward. But 2 from 3 participants (us belonging to them) were eliminated as we thought that spurs with wheels were allowed in 2nd level (as it is also in national competitions). We were explained that "a partir de nivel 2" does not include nivel 2....very disappointing but we achieved the goal to train this very promising youngster and help him to get a positive experience. Then when riding Fantasia, I got distracted in the line with the four tempi changes by the beautiful view to the sea and maybe still thinking about Qizomba and forgot the fifth of the four tempi changes and my nice mare would not just do it if I not ask...so it was a bit late. Nevertheless we made a nice 2nd place with 66.5%.

All in all in spite of the heat, we had lots of fun, Nathalie did a fantastic job to plait our horses beautifully and keep everything in order. The horses behaved well even though Rayane had never travelled in the big truck and Qizomba had to share with two beautiful ladies.

Now it is time to have a bit of a rest and to focus on consolidation and restart in September with new energy!

Another fantastic dressage clinique with Gonzalo Díaz has finished. We had a wonderful time, with a really good mood, everybody giving its best and learning a lot and we even survived the heatwave. Fun with a barbecue evening was the icing on the topic. And yes, some people will find mistakes in the photos...but this is why we train and try to improve, because we are not perfect but everybody had the heart 100% for the horses and good riding.

Looking for an extremely sweet, tall (1,72m), very versatile, kid-safe dancing partner? Then find out more about Daenerys! Her dam is half PRE and half PSL and her sire the Hannoveranian Solano. She will be 7 years in July. Whilst she has been trained a lot by hacking, we think she will also have a very good potential for amateur riders with more interest in dressage. And she also does a very nice jump!

2024 is nearly at our back... we look forward with optimism into 2025...!!!

We hope people see the beauty of dressage and do not just expect perfect pictures but value honest work and that riders must not being afraid to show that nobody is perfect but we all strive to become better each day.

We hope that the way with the horses is the pleasure and the goal, not a single objective in time, each moment with our horses is special.

We hope to demonstrate nice work also in the competition arena and we look forward to seeing our three fantastic "S" letter youngsters, Seduçao (what an airplane!), Sambesi (such a beauty and top mover) and Samurai (he is presently more a crocodile....) getting into work.

Some impressions of our wonderful Rayane AE. She has such a wonderful cooperative character and since starting to work after the summer break has made an impressive progress thanks to the excellent work of our riders Antonio Trigo and Nathalie. Again a proof of the quality which our Grand Prix Stallion Cromado (grandsire both on sire and damside of Rayane) gives to his offspring with very different mares.
