General news of the horseworld

TC Ravel sold to Steffen Peters

KWPN-bred and AES approved stallion TC Ravel (Contango x Democraat), one of Hollands most promising dressage horses, will not win future medals for the Dutch team. The son of Contango, who was supposed to be G4S Lingh’s successor, has left Edward Gal’s stables and will continue its career in the United States under the saddle of Steffen Peters. Ravel will be Floriano’s follow-up and was purchased in order to secure Peters’ participation at the Olympic Games in Hongkong. Steffen Peters was in the bronze medal team of the USA at the WEG and only nearly missed an individual medal with his fourth place in GPS showing 16 year old Floriano.

“The strong point of Ravel is that I haven’t fount any weak points so far”, says Steffen Peters with great enthusiasm. “Ravel has three good gaits and his extensions in canter are out of this world! He’s very sensitive, I could ride him with little aids and his piaffe-passage are wonderfully balanced.”
Steffen Peters is very grateful to former owner Tim Coomans. “He gave me the opportunity to try out Ravel several times. In the beginning I gave to much aids, Ravel over-reacted. But Edward Gal helped me with that and then things turned out really well.”
Edward Gal of course regrets loosing Ravel. “It’s a championships horse. He has the quality to be the next Lingh. But it’s also totally understandable. Between me and Tim Coormans it has always been understood that Ravel would be sold if the right price would be paid.”
Tim Coomans has lost his initials in front of Ravel’s name. But he remains the owner of Ravel’s frozen semen for 100 – 120 mares.

Imke goes Brazil

Dutch champion Imke Schellekens-Bartels went to Brazil to teach a group of enthusiast riders. She was invited by Manuel Tavares de Almeida at Rocas do Vouga (www.rocasdovouga.com.br). One of her pupils was Leandro Aparecido Silva (picture) who’s aim is to do the Pan American Games next year. Imke Schellekens-Bartels and Leandro Aparecido Silva at Rocas do Vouga in Brazil. “All riders were used to do Prix St Georges and were technically perfect skilled”, Imke emphasized. “Most of their Lusitano-bred horses are born for the piaffe and passage. Therefore my lessons mostly emphasized the basic principles, as the lectures are no problem.”
Imke had wonderful experiences, like being in the middle of a group youngsters and being surrounded by mostly male riders. “The swimming of the horses as a training in a lake was wonderful as well. I enjoyed every minute of this inspiring trip”, Imke summarized.

“I am so honored to have been selected as the developing coach,” McDonald said. “I have always wanted to give back to the sport that has been so great to me. I love to coach and feel that I can bring my skills in this regard to greatly benefit the future of high-performance dressage. I am devoted to finding new blood in our sport by scouting areas that might not normally get seen. I am also very excited to work closely with our team coach, Klaus Balkenhol, as I feel that our training philosophies are very similar.”
