End of a chapter~still writing the story

Lianri Fourie rode her first Sanesa Nationals in the newcomer’s division 13 years ago (she was 6 years old) at Misty Meadows on Marijani Royal Secret.

Dané Laubscher made her show debut in 2019 on Bridesdale Rainstorm.

Over the years they’ve been in many different FS Teams together, winning multiple team and individual championships, and today they both rode in their final Sanesa classes. They are matriculating in 2025

They capped their Sanesa career in style; winning the Jnr Medium 2, Advanced 3, Advanced Freestyle and all the PSG individual medals 🥇

Congratulations Lianri and Dané! We are incredibly proud of what you’ve achieved up to now and we cannot wait to share in the rest of the journey 🤍

(Side note on the 5th photo: the kid who learned how to ride on Triangular side reins, thus keeping her hands quiet, developing an independent seat and not learning to saw the pony on the bit in a pelham has won every single Youth Dressage title in South Africa multiple times right up to FEI PSG😉, maybe we can learn something from that)

Sanesa Nationals 2025
~ Day 1 ~ Newcomer’s Challenge

What a great start to the show for Team GPR.

🥉Sloane Wiesner and Klein Prins GPR rode a lovely test with the biggest smile to win a bronze medal in the U9 Lead Rein Dressage.

Emma Jacobs and Layla GPR exceeded all our expectations when they won an individual gold and silver medal in the over 10 Lead Rein Dressage. Layla’s first-ever individual gold medal (of course Emma’s as well💪)

We had so much fun. The kids and ponies were amazing. The judges were so friendly and welcoming to the riders competing in their first big show. After the test, we took the kids to meet the FEI Steward at the warm-up arena to explain what a steward oversees at a National Championships. Overall, it was just a fantastic experience for these two Newcomers.

We can’t wait to see what the future holds for them and their special ponies💙

Congratulations Sloane, Emma, KP, and Layla 💪

Callaho Bohemia

“The only guarantee, ever, is that things will go wrong. The only thing we can use to mitigate this is anticipation. Because the only variable we control completely is ourselves„

Control ourselves and our team. 💪

So extremely grateful to my entire team for the support at SA Champs. This might have been the most difficult SA’s I’ve done. A lot went catastrophically wrong😂 From having to withdraw 3 minutes before the Championships (after the most incredible warm-up ever) to winning a bronze medal with Bohemia in the Advanced Freestyle. It’s been a rollercoaster of a week, but I learned a great deal. And at the end of the day had a lot of fun. A wonderful reminder that doing this, is a privilege Thank you to Dr Angelo, Dr Casey, the Edeling family, Frans, Wilson, Johane, Tia and especially my mother for all the support. You guys made this possible 🙌

Bohemia 💙🤍 thank you for the most incredible ride. I owe you

The right thing isn’t always the easy thing, it doesn’t always pay off, it doesn’t care about fair, it doesn’t care about your feelings, but it always always always remains the right thing

So proud🤍 just chipping away, doing the next right thing, mostly failing but always trying to do right by the horse. It’s not the quickest journey, but it’s the right one. .equestrian and Qué Sera came 4th today in the Elementary Freestyle Championships. One judge had them first on 75% Congratulations team QS.🙏 Tia and Desi: thank you for believing in this journey we’re on. 💙🤍 I am so proud and so grateful.

“Life happens on the way to your goals, not once you get there.”

So proud of both these special horses at this weekend’s JML Show🤍 Successfully smashed a very personal goal 💪

Suavitas, owned by Leonore Visser, felt absolutely amazing in the warm-up and the arena, we experimented with a few things and got great feedback from the judge.

Callaho Bohemia, owned by Runé Edeling, did the PSG very successfully for the first time. She is the 5th horse I’v had the privilege of schooling to PSG.

Both horses felt so willing and eager to work, it was just a pleasure to ride. 🙏 I feel so privileged every time I get to sit on one of these horses🤍

Thank you to and my mother for the help and coaching in getting these two horses here🤍

Thank you to Marlise and her team for once again hosting a fantastic show. Such a great venue and organization

A few photos of a proud coaching moment from this weekend’s JML show✨

Mia van Rensburg and Berkins Crownlands Fürst Reign rode their first test in a tailcoat to a very respectable score. 😎

Mia and Reign started their partnership in March of 2024 in Novice, raking in multiple medals in the two SA Youth Championship they participated in so far.

Now we’re looking forward to developing their senior career in the higher levels.

Congratulations on this fantastic achievement Team Reign 👑
