Four Beukenvallei finalists during CH Leende!

Last weekend in Leende a Dutch show has taken place. It's a nice and good organized show at a nice show ground. Several students of The Beukenvallei competed here on Whit Monday. The winners of each class qualified for the big final at the end of the day. Four finalists were Beukenvallei riders! 

Jose Manuel Vicente Guil (pictured) won at Z1 level. Mandy Wilms won the M1 class, Kirsten Kaal was victorious at L1 leven and Lotte Verstappen and her new top mare Etrien won the B level! A very successful day!

Carolien Heitzer and Monique Verhagen booked good results as well as they finished both third.

Joyce (picture) competed in Leende as well. She made her début with the six year old talented Deep Purple and competed this horse at Z1 level. Deep Purple is by Quaterback and is owned by the Wilms family. It was the very first show for Deep Purple but he behaved perfectly! There were very nice parts in the test and some miscommunications as well. The final score was over 67% and Joyce and Deep Purple came second. Later on it was announced that Deep Purple actually finished ex aequo first but it was too much for him to ride the final. 'Deep Purple did a super job. This horse got so much talent! Okay, today we had to try out some things and we didn't know how he was going to behave but I got much information we can work on at home now. I am very happy and thankful I can ride this cool gelding and now we will train at home again till the next show. I look forward to it!' says Joyce.
