He also got the highest score of the day (78,4%) and some very fine words from the judges. Another approved stallion Lundemarksgårds Layout (sire Bakkegårds Pinpoint) became third (73%).

August
We have sold Minos to his rider Anne Sofie Laudrup and her family. They will use him for breeding New Forest and Sports Ponies as well as a riding pony for Anne Sofie. I is a great pleasure for us since we know how much they love Minos. The plan is that they will keep him for the rest of his life. We will still use him for breeding, since our off spring out of him are so fine.

At the East Danish Championship for New Forest ponies Minos and Anne Sofie got second in the Jumping Championship. At the same arrangement Asteria Hippios (sire Malthe) became second in the class for mares shown by hand. The class was won by another Malthe off spring "Soldals Annabell". The momement competition was also won by a Malthe off spring "Borrebjergs Magic Mentor" with 72%. Asteria Hippios also became second in one jumping class while her full sister Niobe Hippios won another. 4 other off springs of Malthe also did it very well some won and they all became amongs the top 3 in their classes dressage classes as well as jumping classes.

Asteria will still be used as a competition pony a while yet, before she again will be covered. At that time she will hopefully give us more wonderful off springs just as good as the one she has already been given us :o)
