Dear Riders

 

Last Sunday was the SA Derby in Johannesburg - the most prestigious jumping event of the year. 26 Horses competed, mainly imported horses from Europe, only two Namibian Warmbloods competed and both had clear rounds - from only three clear rounds. Davetsaub A New Era was the only horse with a clear round in the jump-off.

 

The Derby is 1000m long with 18 jumps (22 with combinations) the height 1.55 m in average, the wall 1.70m and a 3 m slide with a 1.5 m upright 2 strides away, a big international course. A New Era was ridden by Jade Hook a 19 year old girl competing for the first time in the 1.5 m class and riding for the first time in the Derby. When I had my accident in 1994 with Anuschka and I stopped riding and started breeding I called her first foal A NEW ERA,- a new milestone in my life -  so this win was very emotional for me.

 

From the breeding point of few 25 years ago in 1984 Billy Onduno won the Derby he was a DOLERIT. Davetsaub A New Era - Drosselklang / Anuschka (DOLERIT) and Midgard Glemmer - Saliner/ Gondel (Magnet / DOLERIT) so all these three horses got DOLERIT and Onduno blood in them.

 

This was a very good day for our Namibian Warmbloods!!

 

Best regards

Wolfgang

Dear Friends of Rostock Ritz,

On the link below please find the 3rd edition of "Kuecki Today" with some entertaining news from life in the Namib desert. The next edition will be sent in May 2009.

Best regards and enjoy reading!

Kuecki Today

Something funny for all riders:

*A dressage test is a test of your skill against another competitor's luck.

Dressage is about achieving a harmonious working relationship with your horse, whose only idea of harmony is eating grass in a field.
*If you want to end a drought or dry spell, wear a new jacket and hat to an outdoor arena.
*Untalented, difficult, aggressive horses have robust health and long lives.
*Talented tractable horses are accident prone.
*You will ride the best test of your entire life just prior to being disqualified for not wearing your gloves.
*Horses do not improve their paces because you are wearing expensive German jodhpurs.
*If you chose a disco theme for your dressage to music test then the judge will not be less than 90 years of age.
*The less skilled the rider, the more likely they are to share their ideas and advice on riding a test.
*If you are considering the services of a horse clairvoyant to help you with training then you have reached the point of total desperation - try the German jodhpurs instead.
*If you fall off your horse in the arena you will have paid to have the test videoed.
*If you are feeling confident before a show then three of the German team and one leading eventer will turn up to give their young horses some "experience."
*Your horse will perform its best piaffe ever when you ask for extended canter.
*No one cheats at dressage because no one has worked out how to.
*It is surprisingly easy to end a test with a perfect square halt once you have scored a four for every other movement.
