■ September 7, 2018, Parkland County, Alberta, Canada
Te September 7 keuring in Alberta was held for the first time at Valleyfield Farm. Tis well-equipped farm has good footing and was well organized. It was interesting that several international competition jumper mares were presented for studbook entry. High score keuring was awarded to a 17-year-old grand prix 1.60m jumper mare Beausoleil (Rubens du Ri D’asse). Beausoleil is still very fit and has a good jumper type, is well proportioned with a well-muscled topline, an athletic body and a long, well- shaped croup and correct legs. Her canter is very balanced with good length of stride. With an 85 for conformation this mare earned her ster and keur eligible predicate easily. For keur she needs to fulfil additional requirements. Te 15-year-old Whisper (Indoctro) competed at the
1.40m level and showed as a six-year-old at the World Cham- pionships for Young Horses in Lanaken. Tis long-lined, re- fined mare also has a good jumper type with a somewhat flat croup. Her canter is still supple with an active use of her hind leg. Whisper earned her keur predicate today. Another 15-year-old mare, Bini Balou (Balou du Rouet)
was awarded keur eligible. Bini Balou competed at the 1.35m level. Tis long-lined, well-developed mare is very correct and has well-developed withers and a good topline. Her canter is balanced with sufficient body use. If Bini Balou fulfils her re- quirements, she will become keur. Te seven-year-old mare Ultra Daimonde VF (Diarado) earned her keur eligible predicate with her quick reflexes (scor- ing 85) and her carefulness. Tis eager mare likes to jump and shows a powerful canter and takeoff. She has a quick use of her front leg and, especially on the higher oxers, she used her body well and showed good scope.
Te five-year-old stallion Messenger (Monte Bellini) passed his jumper IBOP and was awarded ster. Tis well- muscled stallion has a long-strided canter with good rhythm and sufficient body use. In jumping he could be quicker in his reflexes but has good scope and is brave. Messenger improves in his body use on the higher oxers and has good leg technique on the jumps. He is sometimes somewhat strong in the con- nection to the bridle. Tirteen jumper foals were presented, with the highest
score awarded to the athletic colt Navigator VF (Messen- ger). Tis long-lined jumper colt has a good topline and a long croup. His trot is supple and light footed. His canter is athletic, adjustable and shows good length of stride. It is very easy for him to keep his balance and change direction. Te long-lined and well-muscled colt Nitro MS (Nassau) earned second place. Nitro MS has good length in his body and high, long withers with a long sloping shoulder. He has a supple trot with good suspension and a well-balanced canter with good length of stride. Te high score dressage ribbon was awarded to Nakita
(Franklin). Tis well-muscled filly has good technique in her gaits.
