During the first round of the KWPN Stallion Competition 2026/2027 at Peelbergen Equestrian Centre last night, the VDL stallions delivered strong performances. Toledo VDL secured an excellent third place in the 1.30m/1.35m class. Aston VDL, Magnus von der Söhr, Creedence VDL and Springfield VDL all jumped clear rounds in both the initial round and the jump-off. Salerno VDL also performed well, producing one clear round.
Toledo VDL (Tobago Z x Chellano Z), ridden by Wesley de Boer, finished in an impressive third place in the combined 1.30m/1.35m class. The stallion qualified for the jump-off with a clear first round. In the jump-off, he recorded the fastest time, but a fault at the final fence kept him from taking the victory.
The win in this class went to On and On MB (Baltic VDL x Harley VDL), ridden by Rob Heijligers. Bred by Mirjam Bierings, the stallion produced the fastest double-clear performance.
The VDL stallions also performed exceptionally well in the 1.20m class. Aston VDL (Aganix du Seigneur x For Pleasure), ridden by Alexandre Boursier, jumped clear in both the initial round and the jump-off. Bred by VDL Stud out of the outstanding mare Derly Chin de Muze, the stallion once again demonstrated his quality.
Magnus von der Söhr (Manchester van 't Paradijs x Comme Il Faut) also delivered two excellent clear rounds under Alexandre Boursier. Bred by Christian Schröder, the stallion, who already performed strongly in last year's GMB Competition for young showjumpers, made an excellent start to this year's Stallion Competition.
In the 1.10m class for four-year-old stallions, Creedence VDL (Comme Il Faut x Baloubet du Rouet) and Springfield VDL (Balou du Reventon x Harley VDL) both delivered excellent performances under Cristel Kalf. Both stallions jumped two clear rounds, placing them among the six combinations that completed the competition without any penalties.
Creedence VDL, bred by Emma Mäentausta, once again demonstrated his jumping qualities. Last summer, the stallion already secured third place in the KWPN Championship for four-year-old showjumpers.
Springfield VDL, bred by VDL Stud, also showed great promise, starting his first Stallion Competition with two clear rounds.
Salerno VDL (Carrera VDL x Baltic VDL) also made a positive impression in the 1.10m class under Wesley de Boer. The promising young stallion jumped one of his two rounds clear, showing his potential during the opening leg of the KWPN Stallion Competition.
