“Jameson is a special stallion with a lot of quality. He is sweet and smart, you don't really have to teach him anything. Every day I sit on it with a big smile and enjoy it.”

1. What makes Jameson so special to you?
“Jameson is a very special stallion with a lot of quality. He is very sweet and smart, you don't really need to teach him anything. You get on and drive off with it. I have ridden many good young stallions with Edward Gal and Hans Peter Minderhoud, so I can compare well.”

2. How does Jameson get along? 

“James, as I usually call him, is very sweet in the stable. He does behave like a stallion, so you can hear him. If you walk down the hall with another horse, he greets them. I treat him as normal as possible. I brush him, ride or lunge him and he is in the paddock every day.”

3. How is his education going
“I ride James three times a week. We take it easy, just walk, trot and canter. He is big and strong. We are now preparing him for the performance test in the autumn. I'll make sure it's easy to follow, so hopefully he'll come through that whistling later."

4. What's the best thing you've had with Jameson so far?
“Every day is beautiful with him! Every time I ride it, I sit on it with a big smile and enjoy it. I don't say this very quickly. I am used to Toto Junior (by Totilas) who is very special. Jameson is a completely different horse, but also gives a very special feeling under the saddle.”

5. What are Jameson's future plans?
“We're not going to question Jameson. We are now quietly preparing him for the KWPN performance test in the autumn, which lasts fifty days. If he succeeds, the presentation in Den Bosch at the Stallion Inspection will be next and then we'll see. We are taking it step by step.”

6. Would you buy a foal yourself at the Foal Auction Prinsjesdag?
“I have to be honest, I've never been there. Now that I work at RS2 Dressage, where dressage horses are also bred and raised, I am starting to focus more on foals and young horses. At the moment, as a rider myself, I will not buy a foal anytime soon, because it will take a very long time before I can ride it.”
