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.
