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.
