Yesterday was a special day for Rubis Rose!

/in , /by

This beautiful 7-year-old gelding rode his very first competition ever, under the guidance of Jorinde Verwimp. It was a practice competition in preparation for the upcoming season in Oud Turnhout. In the video you get a short impression of how Rubis Rose did!

In addition, Jorinde also participated in a practice competition in Someren with Ruut Pasgang’s gelding, James Pleasure. For him this meant his first Grand Prix and there are some points to work on, but the result is certainly promising and shows a lot of talent for the future.

Charmer was also on hand in Someren to practice for the CDI Le Mans next week. Will we see you there?

Time for a Q&A with Jorinde Verwimp!

/in , /by

Recently Jorinde held a Q&A on her Instagram story. Here 2 questions came up around what the competition days look like for the horses and below we share the answers. Do you also have a question for Jorinde? Let us know at our Facebook page and we will try to answer them next time!

What do competition days look like for the horses in terms of riding and exercise?

With Charmer I usually ride or walk in the ring in the morning. With most of the other horses I walk in hand 2x a day before and after riding, depending on the starting times.

What do the days after a multi-day competition look like for your horses?

After his last competition, Charmer had a few days of rest where he goes in the horse walker and loose in the arena (now that the pastures are too wet). After about 3 days we started to ease back into work to train for the next competition!

Great performance in London for Jorinde Verwimp!

/in , /by

Last week the London International Horse show took place and Jorinde attended. In the Grand Prix she and Charmer had an expensive mistake in the 2nd piaffe, which pushed the score to 67%. But the freestyle went much better and here they scored 74,4% !

P.S. Did you know that Jorinde Charmer rides an Albion Saddle?
