Last week, our Susie passed away from lymphoma at the age of just six. We've known for a few months that she was terminally ill, and we did everything we could to spoil her as much as possible. Susie was a special girl. She didn't enjoy shows. She preferred being at home, in her familiar surroundings, with her own people. But she loved balance and coördination practice and learning tricks. We'll miss her terribly.

We participated with great pleasure in the three-day show in Leeuwarden. Friday was the Fryslan Cup, Saturday the Tulip Cup and Sunday the Dutch Winner. Denny achieved first place three times in a row in juniorclass with the qualification excellent. But it didn’t stop there. On Friday, he was also best of breed, and on Saturday the best male. And all this at the age of only 14 months, we are very happy with the achievements of our youngest.
