Imke Schellekens-Bartels and OO Seven
 Winners
of the 2002 AMEV Hippo Cup at the CDI-W Maastricht,
The Netherlands, were Imke Bartels and the KWPN licensed
stallion OO Seven. The duo scored 70,33 % in the first
test and 74,43 % in the kur to music (fourth level).
n the AMEV Hippo Cup Finals, OO Seven showed two balanced
tests with no weaknesses, yet the horse could have been
a little more engaged from behind. He stayed up throughout
the test and was relaxed in the trot and canter.
Imke Bartels and OO Seven have already built up an
impressive list of achievements with twice reserve champion
in the Pavo Cup as current apex in their career. In
2001, OO Seven and Imke Bartels represented the Netherlands
at the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses.
 OO
Seven was champion of the Stallion Performance Test
in 1999 with the highest scores is his training report:
Walk 8, Trot 9, Canter 9, Dressage suitability 9. Bred
by Isabel Sponselee, OO Seven descends from a famous
breeding line with the legendary Rubinstein as sire
and Gelbria as dam. Gelbria is by Doruto out of the
Amor-mare Ilbria, and is a full sister to Olympic Barbria
who competed at the 1996 Olympic Games under Tineke
Bartels.
Ilbria is also dam of Vobria, who is dam of the Grand
Prix dressage horse Celiton, formerly shown by Leida
Strijk. Both Barbria and Celiton had a significant input
for the KWPN being the best studbook according to the
WBCSH in 1999. Several OO Seven offspring sold for top
prices at foal auctions in the Netherlands.
