Time for another World Cup -qualifying round.
Pictures and report about our five days in Mechelen.

The Mechelen World Cup is taking place in Belgium between Sunday 26th and Thursday the 30th.

Mikko has with him Skybreaker, Indira, Melansa and Popcorn LCH. Noora is taking with her Isaac du Jonquet and Campari.

This has been a good, eventful, yet successful year!

Diary and pictures from Guttecoven.

Saturday - Mikko is competing in Welkenraedt.

Mikko takes the opportunity to train at a smaller event with Casandra Z and Skybreaker, jumping 125 and 135cm with both horses.
Casandra was clean in both classes, Sky had a knockdown in the first class, and in the second class Mikko takes a new approach on one obstacle, due to a bad line. All-in-all, also Sky was showing good form, as he's only just starting again after a long pause.

Mikko in Geneva, Noora in Maastricht.
Added pictures from Geneva.

Mikko participates this weekend in Geneva CSI-W World Cup and Noora in Maastricht CSI****. Their horses are the same as last weekend, and they should all be in good form!

Noora's successful, long-term companion Curry H moved today to breeding.

Curry H, soon 12-years old, experienced and always doing extremely much for her riders, ends her career on the top and still being healthy.

Curry H came to Finland in the spring of 2001 and was first ridden by Ms Henrietta Mikkola. Mikko got soon involved with the mare.

Immediately after the same year Finnderby (FIN) Curry proved to be unsuitable for Henrietta.

Mikko and Curry convinced immediately in their first common international competition in Mariehamn, Åland (FIN).
