Crypto Aero Rides with Stal Lansink at CSIO5* Rotterdam Nations Cup

Jos Lansink and For Cento.

Limburg, Belgium (June 25, 2017) – The name Jos Lansink has long been synonymous with the upper echelons of the show jumping world. Throughout his career he has enjoyed countless wins, many in the European and World Championship arenas and has competed in six Olympic Games, taking the Team Gold with the Dutch team in Barcelona in 1992. The Dutch native, who now rides for Belgium, started his own stable in 2004 and has been associated with many equine show jumping superstars: and his horses’ performance at the CSIO5* Rotterdam Longines FEI Nations Cup, held June 22-25, 2017, was no exception.

With rider Pieter Clemens at the reins, Horizon De Regor, a chestnut Belgian warmblood gelding by Obourg, turned in the top ride for Team Belgium with one down in the first round and a second round clear. Horizon’s stablemates also put in impressive performances, with For Cento going double clear and Chianti’s Champion having the last fence down in the 1.55m at Rotterdam.

Lansink first took to the saddle at the age of three, and his ascension to international success began with the 1988 Olympic Games, a win in the 1994 World Cup Final, and a Team Bronze Medal at the 2002 World Championships. Exceptional nutrition has always played a major part in his program, and after seeing great results on other horses, Lansink expanded Crypto Aero Plus to be a staple supplement in his stable. He currently has seven on the whole food horse feed and whole horse supplement, including Horizon De Regor, who was also second in last year’s Belgian Championships. “The horses have longer lasting energy and are jumping very consistent,” said Lansink. “They give the same feeling on the last day as they did on the first day. Their coats look fantastic and their legs looks great. Their overall health has improved.”

When asked about any other performance improvements on Crypto Aero, the response from Lansink’s camp was equally positive: “Especially with the horses that used to get a little empty at the end of the course, they are now able to stay focused and consistent through the entire show. The best thing about Crypto Aero Plus for us is that we don’t need to add any other supplements. Everything our horses need is in one product, which makes it very easy. We have not altered anything else with our feed program. The only thing we provide is a salt block. It is a fantastic supplement, and the results speak for themselves!”

From international show jumping to the demands of the modern racehorse, Crypto Aero was designed to help horses live healthier lives and to reach peak performance by offering them only the very best ingredients. Founded in 2014, Crypto Aero Wholefood Horse Feed is the only complete horse feed based on whole foods. Crypto Aero Plus+ acts as a real food supplement for the whole horse. All of Crypto Aero’s products are created with human grade ingredients whenever possible and are non-GMO and gluten, corn, wheat, soy, and molasses free.

Hermès US Jumping Team Finishes Eighth at CSIO5* Rotterdam’s Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup

Katie Dinan and Nougat du Vallet (Shannon Brinkman)

Rotterdam, The Netherlands – The Hermès U.S. Jumping Team produced a two-round total of 27 in Friday’s Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup presented by Longines at CSIO5* Rotterdam to finish in eighth place. Led by Chef d’Equipe Robert Ridland, members of the Hermès U.S. Show Jumping Short List for the 2014 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, Lucy Davis, Jessica Springsteen, Katie Dinan, and Lauren Hough composed the American effort that went head-to-head with many of the world’s best over Santiago Varela’s 12-obstacle course.

“Obviously today was not the result we wanted; however, we need to keep days like today in perspective. Rotterdam is our first stop in Europe, and our objective for this summer is to prepare for the World Equestrian Games,” said Ridland. “The goal is to produce clear rounds and we have several combinations that were very close to producing those clears.”

Jumping in the lead-off spot for the U.S. were Davis (Los Angeles, Calif.) and Old Oak Farm’s 11-year-old Belgian Warmblood gelding Barron. The Longines FEI World Cup Jumping Final veterans collected four faults in both rounds after lowering the oxer at fence three in the first round and fence 11 in round two.

Springsteen (Colts Neck, N.J.) and Vindicat W were next up for the American contingent, lowering fences five and 10B in round one for an eight-fault total. In the second round, Stone Hill Farm’s 12-year-old KWPN gelding jumped a 12-fault round after rolling poles at the A and C elements of the triple at 10, and the vertical at 11.

Dinan (Wellington, Fla.) and Grant Road Partners LLC’s Nougat du Vallet looked on track to produce a faultless effort in the first round, but the talented competition finished eight-tenths of a second over the 82-second time allowed to collect one time fault. In round two, the 13-year-old Selle Francais gelding faulted at the water and incurred two time faults to finish round two on a score of six.

Anchoring the United States’ effort on Friday was Hough (Wellington, Fla.) with The Ohlala Group’s Swedish Warmblood mare Ohlala. In round one, they jumped to an eight-fault total after lowering rails at fences five and 10C, and returned with an improved effort in their second trip, looking on form to produce a clear round until the penultimate fence came down for a four-fault score.

France and The Netherlands finished the two rounds tied on a score of eight, necessitating a jump-off where Penelope Leprovost and Flora de Mariposa produced a clear round to earn victory for the French team. Finishing in third place behind the Dutch team was Germany on a score of 12.

Hermès US Jumping Team Eyes Victory in Rotterdam, Draws Seventh for Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup

Lexington, Ky. – The Hermès U.S. Jumping Team has traveled to The Netherlands this week for CSIO5* Rotterdam, held June 18-22. A team of veterans and rising stars, from the Hermès U.S. Show Jumping Short List for the 2014 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, will look to repeat the American win from 2010 in Friday’s Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup presented by Longines.

Lucy Davis (Los Angeles, Calif.) makes her second appearance in Rotterdam’s Nations Cup with Old Oak Farm’s Barron, with whom she produced a double-clear effort in 2013. The 2012 recipient of the Lionel Guerrand-Hermes Trophy winner will look to display the form that earned her the victory in the Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix of Lausanne with Barron last September.

Jessica Springsteen (Colts Neck, N.J.), the recipient of the 2014 Maxine Beard Award, will ride Stone Hill Farm’s Vindicat W in the second spot for the Americans in Rotterdam’s Nations Cup. The pair finished third in the $500,000 FTI Consulting Finale Grand Prix in Wellington at the end of March before heading to Europe, where Springsteen had top placings at CSIO Lisbon and CSI Cannes.

In Rotterdam, Katie Dinan (Wellington, Fla.) will ride her 2013 Alltech $250,000 Grand Prix CSI-W 5* presented by Lifeforce Elite winner, Grant Road Partner LLC’s Nougat du Vallet. In April, the pair finished 15th at the Longines FEI World Cup Jumping Final in Lyon, France.

Lauren Hough (Wellington, Fla.), the team’s sole veteran of the winning effort in 2010, will return to Rotterdam Stadium this week in hopes of again leading the U.S. to a top podium position. Hough looks to produce a double-clear on Friday on The Ohlala Group’s Ohlala. The pair comes into Nations Cup competition after producing strong finishes in Mannheim and Wiesbaden in May and June.

Eight teams line up for Friday’s Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup presented by Longines, with the U.S. drawing seventh in the order. Nations Cup competition gets underway Friday at 4:00 pm CET (10:00 am ET).
