Licensed stallions Bailamos Biolley and Bon Bravour ruled the roost at the third Belgian young horse selection trial for the 2012 World Championships in Verden, held at the national competition in Zandhoven, Belgium, on Saturday 5 May 2012. While Bon Bravour so far has captured three consecutive victories, Bailamos is climbing the ladder and earning high scores for Verden.
Belgian combinations vying for a berth at the 2012 World Young Horse Championships have to compete at at least five out of seven young horse selection trials, held at national shows throughout the spring. The five best results are taken into account for nomination.
In the 5-year old division former Belgian youth team rider Katrien Verreet returns to the big time aboard Brigitte de Biolley's SBS and Oldenburg licensed stallion Bailamos Biolley (by Sir Donnerhall x Florestan). The small but athletic bay stallion received a score of 80.60 points to narrowly edge out Els van der Veken on the bright bay Dutch warmblood mare Cabana Girl (by Serano Gold x Jazz). The pair scored 80.40 points. Belgian based Spanish rider Andrea Villaverde ranked third with her KWPN bred black mare Cartier (by Don Frederico x Gribaldi) on 79.60
"Yes we can," said an ecstatic Katrien Verreet after her victory on Bailamos. "I'm so proud of my sweeties," she added, also referring to her second place in the 6-year old division. Second placed Els van der Veken commented that, "finally it all worked out as we trained the last weeks. Cabana was a super star and scored just 0,2% less than the winner. The judge advised us to work on a more uphill canter. We will do that!"
The 6-year old division was won by routinier Tom Franckx aboard the Dutch owned KWPN stallion Bon Bravour (by Painted Black x Chronos). The duo stayed well ahead of all competition with their 84.00 score. Katrien Verreet and Brigitte de Biolley's bay Belgian warmblood licensed stallion Galliani Biolley (by Sir Donnerhall x Lanciano) were the runners-up with 77.000 points, while Andre de Vlieger and his Dutch warmblood Banner Man S (by Van the Man x Symfonie) finished third with 75.40.
"There were a few minor things here and there but it's going better every single time," said a pleased Tom Franckx, who competed three horses in total on the young horse circuit in Zandhoven.
In the 4-year old division Larissa Pauluis and the Dutch mare Dorelja (by Vivaldi x Calypso III) posted the winning score of 76.801 points. Belgian Grand Prix rider Julie de Deken and her new ride, the Dutch mare Dolcherie (by Painted Black x Krack C), slotted in second with 76.601 points, while Dominique Rombouts and the Dutch mare Doris Day (by Uphill x Jazz) were third with 76.401.
