Ready for the Barcelona tour!

After huge preparations Marcel and Joyce are ready for the Barcalona tour: they take seven horses with them to compete at the Barcelona dressage tour which lasts two weeks.  

Of course Stan (and Pip) and Ivanna go with them. Ivanna will groom. Josep is with them as well, he will compete international for the first time. He will show six year old Euro, which is owned by Adri de Bruijn and the Beukenvallei.

Joyce will compete four horses: Beukenvallei's Ubique at Grand Prix level, Showboy at small tour level and Beukenvallei's Chaplin and Deep Purple.

Mandy Wilms, a student of Marcel, will make her international début with El Ganador. She will show in the class for six year old horses. 

Japanese Akane Kuroki completes the team. She will compete her Don Luka at Grand Prix level and the goal is to qualify for the Olympics in Rio 2016.

The seven horses will have a time to rest in Lyon in France at a racing course. From there they leave again on Friday morning to Barcelona where they are expected to arrive in the evening. The show starts on Tuesday so the horses have some time to get used to their new accommodation in Spain. 

In the meantime two foals are expected to be born at the 
Beukenvallei so this will be very exciting for the team at home. Marcel and Joyce are sure they have great people at home and they are very greatful they take good care of everything. As always Lotte and Malou watch Marcel and Joyce's house and the pets. 

Of course we keep you updated from Spain!
