Summer 2018

The summer was quite hot and dry as usual so there was not so many competitions. We and also the organisers plan most of the competitions around the hottest summer time.

Master Cruiser did his first international race at 17/6 in Soumensac with Marja. Master Cruiser was moved from Finland to France at the beginning of the year and we did few test races before we went up to try the international level. Even in hot weather Master Cruiser showed no signs of problems and the CEI 80 km was finished quite nicely.


Also Ainhoa Patchouli debuted with Marja during the summer. First race for the horse but finished with ease the CEN 20 km at 14/7 in La Croix Blanche. Accompanied with Don Pablo and Lauri. It was nice to go together but always it is somewhat stressful to have two horses WITHOUT any crew to help.

At 24/8 we had two day competition CEI 2* 2x70 km in Monpazier with Master Cruiser. The first day went really well and there was no problems. Horse felt just great all-around. At the next morning the horse was somewhat stiff but stiffness went away after walking and there was no problems in the vet control. However after the first loop of the second day the Master Cruiser sadly went slightly lame that was also visible in the vet check. There was no problems with the hoofs or lower limbs thus we concluded that there was some minor strain that caused the lameness. Next morning there was no lameness or any problem whatsoever. So luckily it was just bad luck with minor injury that stopped the race that day.

Meanwhile Laura continued training and racing with Step Night as planned. Step Night completed CEN 48 km with Laura at 26/08 in Kouvola without problems.

Even the summer was quite hot and dry we still continued to train hard for the upcoming events. Most of all to the main event of our season: World Championship for Young Horses in Samorin, Slovakia.

Spring 2018

Spring started at 25/03 in Durance's great tracks when Marja / Master Cruiser completed CEN 60 km easily. Even it has been raining very much the stiff sandy tracks in Durance held really well and it was very nice to compete there.

Next was the first FEI qualification for 5 yo Don Pablo at 15/04 in Montendre where Lauri / Don Pablo completed CEN 44 km. It was quite wet but the track was decent and there was no major problems.

At 29/04 in Beaumont-du-Perigord both Lauri / Jiicee Superstar and Marja / Master Cruiser competed in CEI 44 km. Track was very slippery and rocky. Also the parking and grooming areas suffered really badly from the rainy weather. Luckily Lauri and Marja was however able to complete the race quite easily. Thank you Laura for the grooming / assistance!

In Finland at 05/05 in Pinsiö it was time for the first FEI qualification for Step Night. Laura / Step Night was able to complete the race easily. Well done!

The spring highlighted at 20/05 in Castelsagrat where our own breeding, owned and trained, Finnish born Jiicee Superstar debuted in her first CEI 2* 120 km. Weather was really hot recording up to 30°C and the track had lot of ascend totalling over 1900 meters. Nevertheless our 7 yo Jiicee Superstar ride by Marja was able to complete the race without problems! Excellent job!

Winter 2017-2018

Spring is coming!

18.02.2018 Laura and her new horse Step Night started the year in Hollola completing CEN 24 km successfully. This was the first race for the horse but everything went smoothly. Quite promising debut for the horse!

25.02.2018 Jiicee Superstar completed the legendary but difficult Hasparren CEI 90 km race with Marja. This was the first completed CEI 1* for our own bred "foal". Born to us and under our eyes in Finland and now ridden by us in CEI level in France. What an excellent horse she has grown into! We are very lucky to have her!

25.02.2018 Laura and Step Night completed CEN 32 km in Lieto. Lot of unlucky events before even getting to the race put some stress to the competition but still the horse was able to finish the race without problems. Well done yet again!


We celebrated the new year by moving from our old house to the new. Also we moved our horses with us to our new stables. Thus lot to do in very limited time. Also we are going to do lot of renovating to the stables and to the surroundings during the year while training and competing normally. Needless to say that we will be having quite stressful year but we trust that it will be worth it.

We also transferred our Master Cruiser from Finland to here in France. Master Cruiser has completed the FEI qualification and he shows quite good potential to be steady performer in CEI level. We plan to have few training competitions with him and then we try to break the ice for CEI level during the spring.

Jiicee Superstar is getting lot of training and we aim to progress in to the higher CEI levels. Don Pablo is starting his FEI novice qualification this year and we hope to get that underway and done during this year. Ainhoa Patchouli is going to debut in competitions during the year and we plan to get him steadily towards national young horses championships.

Laura will continue on training and competing her new horse Step Night in Finland. Also in addition to endurance racing Lauri will be competing in various competitions in farriery / blacksmithing during the year.

Autumn 2017

A lot has happened during the autumn of 2017.

06.10.2017 Lauri and Jiicee Superstar competed in 6yo finals in Uzes France. Jiicee Superstar was awarded with rating "Very Good". Only 30 from 138 of the best 6yo horses got better rating. Thus "very good" was quite good considering that Jiicee was the only non-Arabian horse in the competition made for Arabians. The race had heart rate limit of 56 in every vet gate and 54 at the finish within 10 minutes. Even with the strict rules that aren't easy for trotters Jiicee was able to finish with speed of 14.4km/h. This was also the last novice qualification for Jiicee for the FEI level!

14.10.2017 Laura and Master Cruiser finished 80km in Urjala which was also their last novice qualification for the FEI level! Without problems Laura and Master Cruiser was able to finish the race.

05.11.2017 Don Pablo and Marja finished 44km without problems in La Crau. This 4yo horse is showing quite promising start to his racing career.

25.11.2017 Jiicee Superstar and Lauri debuted in CEI1* but sadly did not finish. As being mare and boxed near many stallions Jiicee developed serious rut (heat) for the race morning. That influenced unusually hard to the behaviour of Jiicee thus resulting metabolic disqualification due to high heart rate which lowered to normal levels after 5 minutes from the vet gate. The problem was not actually metabolic but excitement caused by the rut and nearby stallions. Bad luck but we will be prepared next time to deal with the potential rut!


With broken hearts we had to announce the tragic and untimely loss of our oldest and most accomplished horse Super Pearl in accident in her paddock at 8.10.2017. This tragic event brought us to consider our future more closely.

After some consideration we decided that we want our own stables with pastures and home next to the stables. After few months of searching we found perfect combination for us. We will be moving there 1.1.2018. We hope that after some renovating we can get the stables just perfect for our requirements. The area includes 30ha of land for paddocks, prairies and fields and including stables with 14 boxes and large storing areas. Also including good paths for training in walk, trot and gallop. We are looking forward to develop our team with our new facilities.

During winter we continue on training and preparing to move to our new facilities. Lot of work but we look forward to it!
