Athene who was sold by us last year has won in Ermelo the PAVO-Cup for 4 yrs old horses. With marks from the test riders who went up to 9,5 and 10 Athene was the best of all! Athene who is now in ownership of Tim Coomans is still a very young horse, but was marked a one of the highest potentials the judges had ever seen. Athene, who is bred out of the same pedigree ar Parcival will be trained further for th enext years selections for the World Championships. We wish Tim and his team all the best with this stunning dressage horse.

Aesthete Trento B x Gribaldi was odl lost year as well to Betsy Spence from the USA. Last year Aesthete allready won the 3 yrs old championships for dressage horses and this year he was the best 4 yrs old. karen reilly now is the rider of Aesthete and they did a great job!

This quote was published by Eurodressage:

Karen Monks-Reilly and “Aesthete” ranked first in the nation coming into the Four-year old Championship, trotted away with the title and a score of 8.68. “My ride today was all I hoped it could be,” said Monks-Reilly of Kennett Square, PA. “It was energetic and supple, and this horse is so sensible.”

Monks-Reilly, who has an eventing background, rides foxhunters for owner Betsy Spence of Unionville, PA, and they found Aesthete (a bay Dutch Warmblood gelding, Trento B – Unusual by Gribaldi, bred in the Netherlands by brothers Van Der Steen) in Europe when he was only two weeks under saddle, but it was love at first sight for Monks-Reilly.

“Now we do lots of hacking and cross-training, and he offers FEI movements, but it’s all in fun at this point and dressage doesn’t seem like work for him,” she said. “We’ll head to Devon next and hope to come back for the five-year-old division next year.”

Again this shows that people have had trust in our knowledge and have been able to buy champions for the future!
