Summer 2017

Not much during the summer as there is not as much of competitions during the hot summer time. But still lot of training for the main events of the year.

10.06.2017 Lauri with Jiicee Superstar and Marja with Don Pablo started in hilly Greoux Les Bains in CEN 20 km. In the 20 km alone there was over 250m of incline which meant really good training for the horses. Both horses finished easily without any problems but due to mix up with interpreting the rules the Don Pablo was disqualified because the speed was too high for 4yo horse. Anyway very good training for both of horses.

24.06.2017 Jiicee Superstar and Marja completed CEN 42 km in Le Luc 42 km. Weather was really hot recording over 40C under the sun. Heat stress was very high but Jiicee was able to complete the race without any major issues.

08.07.2016 Master Cruiser and Laura completed CEN 80 km in Padise Estonia. This was Master Cruiser's first CEN 80 km but it went really well. Without any problems with very good recovery times Master Cruiser was able to complete the race with speed of 13.2 km / h.

23.07.2017 Don Pablo and Marja completed CEN 40 km in Revest-du-Bion 40 km. This young horse completed the race without any problems.

26.08.2017 Lauri and Jiicee Superstar completed CEN 40 km in Greoux-les-Bains. This was just training competition for the upcoming main event. With good speed (14,8 km / h while maximum allowed was 15 km / h) and with good recovery (heart rate 52) this was quite easy race for Jiicee Superstar.

During the fall we are getting ready for the main event for Jiicee Superstar and the last FEI qualification of CEN 80 km for Master Cruiser. Also we continue to race with Don Pablo to make him more comfortable with racing. We are also training with Ainhoa Patchouli to get him ready for saddle and races for the next year.

Spring 2017

Spring has been quite eventful for us.

We decided to retire Super Pearl as we got her pregnant. While Super Pearl wasn't meant for this sport, she still single handedly brought us up to FEI 3* level. Six years with us resulted great foal Jiicee Superstar and over 1500 km of completed races. We hope that she can make yet another great foal for us while enjoying her well earned retirement constantly watching over the herd!

26.03.2017 Farid Ibn Shadwan and Lauri tried to start FEI 1* in La Voulte Sur Rhone. Sadly surprisingly cold morning with raining caused cold wind within the trailer that resulted very stiff shoulder for the horse. That resulted lameness in the first inspections and Farid Ibn Shadwan was not able to start. Due to the history of this horse and other minor issues during the winter we decided to give the horse total rest from this season. We hope that after the rest we can continue to use him fully again in the next season.

23.04.2017 Laura and Master Cruiser started in Lapua Finland in CEN 56 km. This event was quite far away (5 hours driving) so we came to the place one day before the event. Horse behaved quite well during the transport and he was really calm and nice during the day and night before the event. For endurance horse to be able to rest and to be calm during the transport and time in the event area, is really good perk to have. The race went really well and the Master Cruise won the Best Condition award.

28.04.2017 Jiicee Superstar and Lauri started Jiicee's first CEN 81 km in Uzes. The 6yo horse went really well during the whole race and was able to finish the race with speed of 15.6 km / h without problems.

30.04.2017 After few days Marja and Don Pablo started also in Uzes in CEN 20 km. This was the very first race for 4yo Don Pablo. Overall everything went really well and the horse was working nicely with good recovery times.

27.05.2017 In Finland Laura and Master Cruiser started CEN 64 km in Liesjärvi. The race went well without any major problems. Horse did finish in good condition with last pulse of 48.


During the summer we plan to have few more competitions mainly with Don Pablo to get him to be fluent in competitions. With Jiicee Superstar and Master Cruiser we are training hard for the season's main events. Jiicee Superstar is aiming to the Young Horses Championship in Uzes and Master Cruiser is going for the final CEN 80 km competitions for his FEI qualification.

We also bought new horse Ainhoa Patchouli. This 4yo arab gelding is starting the basic training and we hope to get him ready for first starts in the next season.

Winter 2016-2017

The winter weather was quite nice and we were able to train without major problems from the weather.

During the winter we bought two new horses. We bought Master Cruiser in December from Finland and for now the horse is staying in Finland. Most of the time Laura rides and competes with Master Cruiser. This horse is 9yo american-french trotter (gelding) which retired from race tracks. Master Cruiser has some quite good traits for endurance horse and the conformation is really good for long distance running. Master Cruiser has lot of potential and we hope to see fast progress during the upcoming season.

In February we bought Don Pablo from France which is also retired trotter. Don Pablo is only 4yo french trotter (gelding). In spite for his young age he is very calm. He is also very eager to learn new things. Also he has very nice movement overall. All these traits should server him well during his endurance career. During the season we are going to build steady foundation for future for Don Pablo with broad basic training and with many small races.

Lauri and Super Pearl competed in Port Saint Louis at 16.11.2016 at CEI*. This competition had minimum speed limit of 14 km/h but otherwise the course was quite easy without any inclines. Previous weeks with heavy raining made the course really wet with lot of flooded parts that made the race harder. However the obstacles Super Pearl was able to finish the race yet again with speed over 15 km/h.

Lauri and Master Cruiser competed in Vesilahti Finland at 28.1.2017 at CEN 18 km. This competition was first race for Master Cruiser and it was just test for the horse to see how he works in the competition. Master Cruiser was really calm and completed the race without major problems. Future seems really good for this horse.

Lauri and Jiicee Superstar competed in Villelaure at 26.2.2017 at CEN 40 km. First competition in PACA area of France. We were mostly just testing the current fitness of Jiicee Superstar. Everything went well and Jiicee was able to finish the race without problems. All looks really good for upcoming events for Jiicee Superstar!

Laura and Master Cruiser competed in Jämsä Finland at 11.3.2017 at CEN 32 km. First race for Laura with Master Cruiser. Horse was quite nervous during the race but Laura and Master Cruiser finished well. More experience for the horse and we trust that horse will learn to relax in future competitions.

At the same date (11.3.2017) Marja and Jiicee Superstar competed in La Crau at CEN 60 km. This race was quite easy overall and we didn't want to push the horse to the limits. Horse was really good and everything looks very nice for future races.

Overall winter was quite nice with good training and few races that prepare us for the upcoming season.
