Hindrik Lauwers is a 8 year old Star gelding - and my competition horse.

News- Hindrik and I just had a great show at Lake Oswego, with 3 first place finishes and one second.  Below are photos taken by Julie Ward from our First Level test 4 on Sunday August 8, in which we scored 67.895% (it would have been a bit higher if I hadn't gone off course!):

Hindrik and I just showed at Dressage at Devonwood, the area's #1 most prestigious show of the year.  Hindrik did great, I was so proud of him.  In this test we scored 60.4:

Hindrik and I did our first USEF / USDF rated dressage show on June 17, the Baroque Soltice Show at Donida, and we got a 68.4 in training level test 3, which was our first qualifying score for the State Championships.  We need one more score over 63 to qualify.

 In that test he got an 8 on gaits and a 9 on his freewalk, by judge Kari McClain.  He was amazing considering he had never been to Donida before and he didn't  get see the dressage arenas before the show.

Hindrik was chosen to represent the Friesian breed this year at the Country Classic on July 12, 2008.  Click on his photo below, see him in action there!  He was very well behaved on this outing- despite all the activity and scary jumps around, he was as cool as could be.
