Compiégne 2011

The last I heared about going to Compiégne was that Annelie has decided to give that up. She wants to match him with care as he has proven himself to be very potential for the task.

7-års tävlingarna i Compiégne
Det senaste jag hörde angående unghästtävlingen i Compiégne för 7 åringar var att Annelie tänker stå över den med King Peak.
Hon vill inte förta honom under hans andra säsong, utan kommer att matcha honom på ett mer genomtänkt och planlagt sätt. Han har nu varit ute på två tävlingar i år där han fått bekänna färg. Tävlingar som gått på tider i högsta klass, 19.1 över 80 km och nu senast 120 km(122,5)med extrasträcka på en tid som kanske närmar sig 19 km i timmen även där och då på en sträcka som närmar sig 140 km.
I båda dessa prestationstävlingar har han belönats med Best Condition och inte uppvisat minsta defekt under tävlingarna vid veterinärbesiktningarna.

King Peak Nordic-Baltic Champion

Today was a very exciting day! King Peak was out on his first CEI 2*, 120 km on the Nordic-Baltic Championship in Denmark.
The markings was very diffuse so on the second lap, the 4 leading equipages missed the track and went the wrong way. They lost 20 minutes on that mistake! Otherwise it was a smooth ride and they fetched back their positions on the nest lap. BUT, on the last lap it happened again. Annelie missed a marking and took a wrong way for the second time. Totally she had been riding at least 20 km extra on this 120 km competition! It looked rather bad for her, but in the last finish King Peak fought well and was the first over the finish line!
Despite this very tough race over almost 140 km King Peak had a Puls rate of 48 was rewarded for BEST CONDITION as well! The average km/H time is not available yet.
King Peak won the Gold Medal Individually and the Team took the Silver Medals.

King Peak Nordisk-Baltisk Mästare
Idag avgjordes det Nordisk-Baltiska Mästerskapet i Distansritt. Annelie Eriksson och King Peak ingick i det svenska landslaget. De låg i ledning tillsammans med 3 andra ekipage under den första slingan och allt fick bra i grind 1. På andra slingan var banmarkeringarna mycket dåliga och hela fronttruppen red fel. De blev sinkade med hela 20 minuter. Den förlorade tiden reds in under 3e sträckan och ordningen var återställd. På den sista slingan missade Annelie banmarkeringen en andra gång! Det såg minst av allt lovande ut med ytterligare en miss på flera kilometer och ytterligare sinkad tid.
Men, över mållinjen var King Peak trots dessa missar först! Han hade gått närmare 20 km extra och hade ändå styrkan att hämta upp och vinna!
Detta är en prestation som är värd att notera. I slutgrinden var hans puls nere på 48 slag i minuten och som grädde på moset blev han trots denna tuffa utveckling av loppet vald till titeln BEST CONDITION!!
Helt fantastiskt. Han verkar ha ärvt Parnassos oerhörda fysiska företräden.

King Peak 2011 season







The 2011 Endurance season has started this weekend. King Peak started his International career (CEI*80) with a very ignominious second place after been leading the race till the last meters when he lost the finish with the minimum of 0.01 second! The winner, Power, is an experienced horse with many miles and competitions behind. King Peak is nearly a "newcommer" and has just taken part a few National . He was very fresh and fit before their departure. If everything goes as planned, he will be prepared for the 7 y.o competition in Compiégne.




King Peak was awarded for Best Condition.

King Peak has now been out on his first official jumping competition. The obstacles were 90 cm and he was the proud winner! He seems to be an arab of great versatility.
