Ta Vita der Steenakker and Titalis van de Kempenhoeve Win 2019 Belgian Warmblood Foal Championship

Breeding

Belgian Warmblood

The filly Ta Vita der Steenakker and the colt Titalis van de Kempenhoeve became the dressage champions at the 2019 Belgian Warmblood Foal Championship on 7 September 2019.

A last minute location change of the Championships took place forcing the participatings not to travel to Stable Hulsterlo in Meerdonk but to the Vanderhasselt equestrian centre in Wambeek, Belgium. Stable Hulsterlo, which annually hosts the Belgian Dressage Championships in August, has been summoned to court by the town St. Gillis Waas for disturbances of the neighbours' peace with all their events.

In the filly division it was Lambert Cuppens' bay Ta Vita der Steenakker (by For Ferrero x Lord Sinclair) that scored the highest total of 90 points, which was also the highest day score of all colts and fillies together. Breeder Cuppens achieved a double whammy as Ta Vita's full sister Steenakkers Diamant was the 2018 BWP Filly Champion. The reserve title went to T-Vitaniro van 't Westhof (by Vitalis x De Niro) who scored 89 points. She is bred by stud farm 't Westhof that also focuses on show jumping breeding. Mark Dries' Topgirl van de Kempenhoeve (by Furst Toto x Quaterback) slotted in third with 87 points.

In the colt division Mark Dries saw his Titalis van de Kempenhoeve (by Vitalis x Stedinger) walk away with the champion's sash after scoring 87 points in total. Stijn Thijs' Tyrel van de Guldennagel (by Pegasus van den Guldennagel (by Apache x Quicksilver) out of a Cababis Z dam) became the runner-up with 85 points. Stephan van Dun's Talentino VD (by Just Wimphof x Fidertanz) landed third place with 83 points.
