At an inspection in Custer, Wisconsin on October 4, a six-year-old Aguila fan became a Black Pearl Kroon AA (Tsjalle 454 x Fabe 348) Crohn’s and overall champion. Black Pearl Friesians’ mare Tiffany Ringa-Van der Koe came to the examination as a mare in the Horse Book and made a big promotion, thanks in part to the IBOP driving test of jury members Wil Thijssen and Frans Smits, with the mare scoring 80.5 points. Aguila is the daughter of Model Sport Elite AAA mare Jildou fan ‘e Boppelannen (Fabe 348 x Jillis 301), and is a half-sister of Grand Prix horse Wirdmer fan’ e Boppelannen Sport Elite (Beart 411).
Reserve Champion Jackie Gilding
The reserve championship was for the eunuch: Jaky fan North Ster (Thorben 466 x Sipke 450) from Lana & Megan Markey. A three-year-old eunuch got a Ster with a first premium.
Aguila entered the class with book horses four years old and older, for which she was awarded two additional stars. Six-year-old, 1.72-meter Cilla van het Binnenveld Ster (Epke 474 x Ouke 313) scored an 8. Then there was the Iconic Pitch Black Ster fan (Jehannes 484 x Fabe 348) who got an 8 for the breed type and an 8.5 for the trot, but could convince more in a stride for a first premium.
In addition to champion Aguila, eight-year-old Tjaitske E Ster (Tsjalle 454 x Ulbert 390) who was raced by Fernando and Nick Horowitz became reserve champion. The Ster mare was bred by the Emmens family and received an invitation from the judges for the next round. Her 8 of the breed and walking type were convincing, and she was allowed to be stronger in build to be promoted to the Kroon.
