During the Central Foal Inspection in Harich on Saturday, July 12th, the filly Vareina VDL (Boston VDL x Arezzo VDL) stole the show. With her long-lined conformation, strong topline, and light-footed canter, she was named Champion of the jumping foals by KWPN inspectors Wim Versteeg and Henk Dirksen.

It was a very successful day for VDL Stud: no fewer than six foals from our own breeding program received an invitation to the National Foal Championship (NVK) in Ermelo.

• Vicky Banda VDL (Baltic VDL x Argentinus)
