Normandy Horse Show
The DKS "girls" took care of business at the Normandie Horse Show today!
Ombre de Quidam DKS (Quidam de Revel - Cento) - easy clear in the stout 6-year-old Cycle Classique (up to 1.35 m in height)!
Gilly Express DKS (Diamant de Semilly - Baloubet du Rouet) - clear round in the 4-year-old Cycle Classique. Gilly has now gone 7 for 7 clear rounds in her first competitive season.
Interestingly, both girls are from the same family as Ekano DKS*Semilly. And Gilly's dam, 9-year-old Lilly Express DKS, will be competing later in the week.
MANY, MANY, MANY thanks to Axelle Lagoubie, Amy Graham, Romain Bourdoncle, Emmanuel Bertho, and their terrific teams for doing such wonderful work in producing our horses.
DKS Family at Auvers
Young horses bred by DK Sporthorses competed again last week at Auvers. And again we had three horses that went clear and one that made a few mistakes. We are happy with all of them!
This time, Gilly Express DKS was double clear with Emmanuel Bertho in the saddle, jumping clasess for 4 year old horses.
Ekano DKS Semilly, owned by Richard and Anne-Sophie Levallois and ridden by Alexis Gourdin was double clear again in 6yo qualifications, while Axelle Lagoubie and Ombre de Quidam DKS were clear the first day, but made some mistakes on the second day of competition in the same category.
Forget-Me-Not DKS, owned by William Leparquier, jumped 5yo clasess and went double clear with Jean Hinet in the saddle.
We congratulate to all riders, trainers and owners!
Mira DKS and Lilly Express DKS Complete the Mediterranean Equestrian Tour in Oliva, Spain!
Mira DKS and Lilly Express DKS celebrated the completion of the Mediterranean Equestrian Tour in Oliva, Spain under the masterful guidance of Amy Graham and Emmanuel Bertho of Haras du Ry.
This is the second time at MET for Lilly Express DKS, who started there in the Autumn, marching around 5-year-old courses with ease and confidence. At the beginning of her 6-year-old season, she completed 1.30m courses, impressing everyone and demonstrating her bravery and willingness to do the job.
Mira DKS began her 5-year-old season, jumping 1.15m courses, and had an impressive five clean rounds out of seven total. Additionally, she placed 3rd and 6th in two of the Grand Prix classes for her division. She maintains her stellar record from her 4-year-old season, when she jumped four out of five courses clean.
These two special horses are headed back to Haras du Ry with Amy and Manu to continue their training. We're so incredibly proud of them, and thrilled with all the work Amy and Manu have done with them. Bravo!
