8 April 2019
In the Youngster Tour at CSI2* De Peelbergen this weekend DSHS horses turned the heat up. In the class for five and six year olds, no less than four horses who were auctioned in the Dutch Sport Horse Sales, finished in the top five. Also in other classes DSHS horses claimed success, like Kamara van ‘t Heike as runner-up in the GP with Jack O’Donohue.
In the two-phase class for five and six year olds (1.15/1.25m) on Friday, four DSHS horses returned for the lap of honour. Patrick Lemmen showed the good form of the Numero Uno son Inostello M, auctioned in 2017, by ending up second. With that they referred Jack O’Donohue with the Elvis ter Putte mare Ikaberlina RV, auctioned last year, to the third place. Just one place higher than Tom Slattery, with his clear jumping Ici (s.Douglas) on the fourth place and Iris (s.Starpower) on the fifth. They are sold in our auction in De Peelbergen in 2018 and 2017 respectively. Patrick Lemmen and Inostello M were also successful on Saturday. With again a double clear result they jumped to the sixth prize in the 1.30m class for six year olds. Tom Slattery had already started good on Thursday by winning a third (Iris) and fourth (Ici) prize. Jack O’Donohue was also one of the prize winners in this Youngster Tour class riding Ikaberlina RV (seventh).
