Jeroen Devroe's internationally competed Grand Prix ride Fiderprincess has shifted down a gear from high performance sport and is currently giving more experience to a national level Belgian rider.

Fiderprincess is an 18-year old Hanoverian mare by Fidertanz out of Wyomie Campell (by Wolkenstein II x Forrest xx). She is bred by Maren Winterfeld-Brussow in Germany.

From Germany to Belgium

The mare was first competed as a 3-year old in 2011 by Jessica-Michelle Besselmann in a local show in Ettingen.

She sold to Stephane van Dun and moved to Belgium. He bred her to Sir Donnerhall and in 2014 a filly was born named Obsession VD (now owned by Isabelle de Cock and competed at international small tour level). Fiderprincess went on to produce five more foals: Prince Fursten VD (by Furstenball, 2015), Queen Unitanz VD (by United, 2016), Royal Princess VD (by Zack, 2017), Talentino VD (by Just Wimphof, 2019), and Vincitore VD (by Jameson, 2021).

Fiderprincess was first shown in Belgium in the national young horse classes by Julie van Dun. They finished 10th in the 5-year old division at the 2013 Belgian Young Horse Championships and were back in the top 10 in 2014. Van Dun competed the bay mare through the summer of 2018 up to M-level.

In 2017 Fiderprincess made her show debut under Kara Bosman, who trained with Jeroen Devroe at the time. She premiered her at small tour level and rode her in her first international show at the 2018 CDI Hagen, followed by Deauville. Bosmal rode the mare in her first national Grand Prix tests in 2022.

Shifting Down a Gear

The rising 18-year old mare has now shifted down a great and returned home to his owner, Stephane van Dun, where Kizzy Halkett is riding and learning from the Grand Prix mare.

"For me this is an opportunity to gain experience," Halkett told Eurodressage about learning from Fiderprincess. "If all goes well, I would love to show her so I can get used to riding Inter II and Grand Prix tests, but it all depends on her health. She might be 18 but she feels like a 7-year old."
