Situated in the beautiful countryside of Twente, close to the German border Stal De Wiemselbach houses more than 50 horses, varying from foals to experienced Grand Prix-horses.
To keep the horses in good condition De Wiemselbach has about 9 hectares grassland, an indoor arena (20 x 60 meter) , two jumping-arenas, a walker and not to forget a motivated staff, that takes care of the horses.
Christian Kukuk gained valuable mileage last week at the two-star show
in Hohenkirchen with Viki Van Gogh, an eight-year-old mare by Van Gogh
out of a Now Or Never M dam, bred by Johann Duin. The Olympic champion
rode her to a double clear round and a fourth-place finish in the concluding
1.45m Grand Prix.
Several offspring of Ustinov delivered impressive performances last
week. Alida Nike (ds.N-Aldato, bred by Stall Nytorp) jumped double clear
to claim second place in the 1.45m Grand Prix at CSI-U25 Martofte under
Philip Svitzer.
