(Read Glenn Lowry’s Britannica essay on “Art Museums and Their Digital Future.”) Sweden's Peder Fredricson and the 10-year-old SV Vroom de La Pomme Z (Vigo D Arsouilles Stx x Untouchable 27) won Sunday's CSI4* 1.55m Sweden H&M Grand Prix in Stockholm at the 2024-edition of Sweden International Horse Show.  Nine horse-and-rider combinations of the eighteen in the class managed to stay clear over the 13-fence track set by Peter Lundström to join the deciding jump-off With five Swedish riders qualified for the jump-off the chances of a home win were pretty good and a loud Stockholm-crowd cheered their heroes on as one after the other delivered.  The first clear in the jump-off came from Amanda Landeblad (SWE) and her consistent For Killy (Otangelo x For Pleasure), who stopped the clock at 43.07 seconds While Landeblad put pressure on the rest with a risky inside turn to the fourth fence in the jump-off – an oxer – the time looked possible to improve which soon would be proved by Peder Fredricson (SWE) who opted for the same turn to stop the clock on 42.36 aboard SV Vroom de La Pomme Z Rolf-Göran Bengtsson (SWE) followed next but could not keep the same speed as Landeblad and Fredricson crossing the finish line in 43.59 seconds with Zuccero HV (VDL Zirocco Blue x Caretino 2) Malin Baryard-Johnsson (SWE) was next in the ring and last out of the five Swedes but opted for a safe clear on Henessy (Hogwart x Piano II) to slot into fourth Olivier Philippaerts (BEL) had the chance to snatch the win from the hosts but could not match the top three's pace aboard Precious Dwerse Hagen (Cornet Obolensky x Casall) and had to settle for fourth as the timers stopped on 44.98 seconds with the Belgian rider pushing in between Fredricson in 1st Bengtsson in 3rd and Baryard-Johnsson in 5th This was Fredricson and SV Vroom de La Pomme Z's first international Grand Prix win even though he has a lot of talent," Fredricson said of the gelding that he has been riding since March 2023 in a press release from Sweden International Horse Show "But now he’s starting to understand what to do and it’s a great feeling when you reach that point." “It has been a fantastic weekend and an amazing competition The atmosphere with the audience was great," Fredricson said © 2025 World of Showjumping -

A frequent contributor to Gripped, Lacelle’s articles and reports embodied his passion for climbing. In 1997, he made history when he soloed the three WI6 ice routes on the Trophy Wall: Terminator, Replicant and Sea of Vapors – read about it here. Born in Hawkesbury, Ontario, Lacelle started climbing while studying at the University of Ottawa in the 1970s. He later became a winter courses instructor for Outward Bound in Ontario and a guide for the Yamnuska Mountain School in Canmore. On Dec. 10, 2009, Lacelle died at the Bozeman Ice Fest in Montana. “A small pocket of snow pulled out and caught him. It hit him and took him off the cliff, down the ice,” said Doug Chabot, director of the Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center. A few years before his death, Lacelle shared his top 135 ice climbs from around the world in a Gripped article. We’ve included that list below (which is in no particular order) for those looking to climb some of Lacelle’s favourite winter routes.

The author of La Pomme de Portland stopped by to share her delicious recipe. Sometimes when I’m trying to decide what to serve for dessert in late spring, I look to what is in season and here in Oregon, after a rainy winter, there’s not much. A few apples still holding on, some citrus coming up from California, and rhubarb. So, I decide to look for ingredients on the shelves of my pantry. The dried cherries and almonds I usually find there are perfect for this modest cake. 1 1/2 sticks of unsalted butter, melted and cooled Preheat your oven to 350F. Toast your whole almonds on a cookie sheet for 8 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned and fragrant. Let cool completely. Lightly toast your sliced almonds for 4 minutes. Butter and flour a 9-inch cake pan. Or if you’re like me and don’t own a cake pan, flour and butter a deep pie plate. Put your whole almonds in a food processor and pulse the machine until the nuts are finely ground. Transfer the nuts to a medium bowl. Add your flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine. Set aside.

venues like the Pennsylvania National Horse Show and Winter Equestrian Festival (Florida) and in several grand prix classes with trainer Matt Cyphert the gelding is used to the charged atmosphere of competitive show jumping “Pom Pom” experienced a very different kind of competition: the $40,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby at the Tryon Riding & Hunt Club Charity 1 Horse Show held at Tryon International Equestrian Center (North Carolina) piloted Pom Pom around the Skip Bailey-designed course earning the pair a combined score of 179 in the first round Little more than a month after No Secret De La Pomme transitioned from the jumper ring to the hunter ring Matt Cyphert piloted the gelding to a win in the $40,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby held June 10 at Tryon International Equestrian Center in Mill Spring “The course was really nice to look at,” Cyphert said noting it was mostly single fences with few related distances “You got to pick a track and really show your horse off.” Pom Pom returned for the handy and earned a score of 203—for a total score of 382—with a bold hand gallop to the final fence “That’s something we’re used to doing the jumper ring so [hand galloping] is right in his wheelhouse,” said Cyphert “That’s one thing we didn’t have to teach him as a hunter.” a 9-year-old Belgian Warmblood (RMF Cadeau De Muze—Geneve De Muze) came to Cyphert’s Woodhill Farm two and half years ago after he was imported by Donald Cheska “We were the first people to look at Pom Pom when he came in,” Cyphert said Von Brecht bought the gelding and began competing him in the low amateur jumpers across the East Coast and Texas Cyphert and Von Brecht decided to transition Pom Pom to the hunter ring They started showing him the high performance divisions producing top results almost immediately at the Texas Shoot-Out so we wanted to dabble in it a little bit.” Cyphert said after their June 10 win He was fantastic: champion in the four-foot division and good in the derby but with some tack changes and Pom Pom’s good brain “The back-to-back trips in the high performance are a bit challenging,” Cyphert said “He doesn’t quite understand why he’s not supposed to go faster the second time he goes in the ring and I think everything came together Friday night.” Cyphert plans to keep Pom Pom in the hunter ring for the remainder of the summer They will go to shows at Lamplight Equestrian Center (Illinois) and Traverse City (Michigan) before hopefully heading to Lexington for the Platinum Performance USHJA International Hunter Derby Championship “Our definite goal is to do Derby Finals at the end of August,” Cyphert said I think it’s a job he really wants to do and do well and it’s just a matter of time before that becomes second nature.” For full

prestigious races: there could be no more appropriate recipient of the TBA Breeder of the Month award for May than Copgrove Hall Stud after Economics claimed Group 2 success in the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Dante Stakes at York Founded by one successful Yorkshire businessman in Vaguely Noble’s breeder Lionel Holliday in 1939 Copgrove Hall was brought back up from scratch by another after he purchased the hall and 50 acres of land in 1969 at the Tattersalls December Sales for 4,000gns on the advice of his trainer Sam Hall and the resulting foal immediately put Reed on the road to success since he was the useful stayer and subsequent stallion Warpath whose son Shotgun finished fourth in Shergar’s Derby Copgrove Hall manager Brian O’Rourke rightly notes: “Guy Reed would have been so proud Not only did he breed and race the female side of the family the sire of Economics’ dam La Pomme D’Amour was raised on the stud by the Wildensteins such as the Nunthorpe with La Cucaracha and the Ebor with Dakota but this would have been extra special to him.” recorded her crowning glory in August 2013 by winning the Prix de Pomone for the second time O’Rourke points out: “From her first six foals she had just one winner She’d been mated largely with Northern Dancer horses so we thought we’d send her to Night Of Thunder and along came the colt who grew into Economics We had to sell him as a foal to keep the business’s cash flow going and he turned him over as a yearling for 160,000gns.” Economics had not burst on the scene when La Pomme D’Amour’s next foal and then a Nathaniel colt foal was sold last year for 19,000gns She was rested last year but is safely in foal to Stradivarius we’ll probably go back to a Dubawi next year,” O’Rourke reflects La Pomme D’Amour’s mating with Stradivarius was perhaps no surprise since O’Rourke spent from 2008 to 2017 as manager of the Gold Cup winner’s base after 12 years in Kentucky and before his move to Copgrove Hall which continues to operate in the ownership of the Guy Reed Trust Reed had no children and everything to do with the stud has been put into the trust for 20 years with his nephews Clive and John Reed taking nominal charge from their respective homes in Harrogate and Monte Carlo The daily business side of the enterprise has been entrusted to O’Rourke who explains: “I was brought on board to make the place commercial and have some very good clients – Jim and Fitri Hay With 99 per cent of Copgrove Hall’s business conducted among outside clients the emphasis is hugely different from Reed’s heyday when he had two dozen mares and a large string of horses split among four or five trainers She won only a small race at Wolverhampton but has bred three winners a very fast filly over five furlongs who was rated in the high-80s and has been retained for the stud Keep in touch with The Owner Breeder for exclusive stories Essential cookies enable basic functions and are necessary for the proper function

Vereecke explained. “I'm supposed to ride my first Nations Cup [of the season] in St so Wiesbaden was intended as a preparation – it couldn't have gone better. I didn’t want to ride too fast I just rode my way and knew that there were faster riders but I wanted to ride without mistakes and have a good round.” Anna Maria Kuhlmann (GER) and Pegasus Deau Re Mi (Deauville van T&L x Corofino) placed second with a time of 57.53 seconds in the jump-off followed by Nicola Pohl (GER) and Catz de Sulpice (Tresor de Virton x Vesontio du Mesnil) who placed third with a faster time but with a fence down in 50.75.  I might be a little annoyed that I rode too fast,” 28-year-old Pohl commented. “I actually felt safe on this ground all weekend That’s why I dared to ride really fast," she said about the conditions in the big grass ring after a week of challenging weather.  Yuri Mansur (BRA) and Vitiki (Valentino x For Expo) finished fourth with four faults in the jump-off and a time of 51.70 followed

happy that it goes so well for them," Vermeir told World of Showjumping "Linguini is a super horse and very simple so for me there was no doubt that they would be a great match."   After several years at the highest level of the sport, Haras des Clarbec has announced that the now 14-year-old stallion Vagabond de La Pomme (Vigo d’Arsouilles x For Pleasure) will shift the focus from his sports career towards breeding duties.  Under Penelope Leprevost, Vagabond de La Pomme had a fantastic career The pair finished as Vice Champions at the World Cup Finals in 2015 as well as ending 2nd in the CSI5* Hermès Grand Prix of Paris in 2017 2nd in the CSI5* Grand Prix of Basel in 2016 3rd in the CSI5* LGCT Grand Prix of Paris in 2016 and 3rd in the CSI5* LGCT Grand Prix of Chantilly in 2015 – to mention some of the many top result that made him earn almost a million euro in prize money.  Vagabond de La Pomme already has offspring competing at the highest level of the sport such as J’Adore van het

Stühlmeyer on Accoton PS (Pikachu de Muze x Chacco-Blue) in 67.35 Rodrigo Pessoa (BRA) rode a beautiful round on Major Tom (Vagabond de la Pomme x Heartbreaker) to take the fifth place after clocking the time of 71.13 but this is my first time competing here," the happy winner commented to World of Showjumping.  "I have had Linguini for nine months at my place," Vermeir told about his winning mount "She is related to one of my top horses Gentiane de la Pomme Linguini is always really quick and has already won a few ranking classes but I could be competitive with her straight away because these classes are what she is here for – she is a naturally fast horse I had a very fluent round and could keep going everywhere but did not do anything risky; it was a perfect round." After several years at the very highest level of the sport the now 14-year-old stallion Vagabond de La Pomme (Vigo d’Arsouilles x For Pleasure) will shift his focus towards his breeding career An announcement from Vagabond de La Pomme’s owners Haras des Clarbec has been released today reading that the stallion is to be retired this year to focus on breeding duties.  Vagabond de La Pomme has had a fantastic sports career finishing as Vice Champion at the World Cup Finals in 2015 with Penelope Leprevost in the saddle as well as ending 2nd in the CSI5* Hermès Grand Prix of Paris in 2017 such as   J’Adore van het Schaeck, Jackson de Regor and Jenson van ´t Meulenhof.  Source: Haras des Clarbec's Facebook page Photo © Jenny Abrahamsson for World of Showjumping Look out for your first newsletter in your inbox soon The best of Montréal straight to your inbox We help you navigate a myriad of possibilities Sign up for our newsletter for the best of the city By entering your email address you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and consent to receive emails from Time Out about news Sign up for our email to enjoy your city without spending a thing (as well as some options when you’re feeling flush) Our newsletter hand-delivers the best bits to your inbox Sign up to unlock our digital magazines and also receive the latest news By entering your email address you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and consent to receive emails from Time Out about news, events, offers and partner promotions.

think my horses have been so consistent and so amazing all three days To win the Leading Junior Jumper Rider Award is just so special to me because it showed that I was consistent over the last three days Twenty-eight entries took their turn over the Kelvin Bywater course but only eight were able to advance to the final tiebreaker Emma Sargent and Winchester set the time to beat as the first pair to complete the jump-off without error but they were more conservative with a time of 43.634 seconds Jobs and Sandor de la Pomme entered the ring one round later and still had three horses coming behind them they made tight turns and galloped speedily through the timers in 37.109 seconds to take over the top spot so we definitely practiced it in the warm-up with the short turn,“ noted Jobs I couldn’t have asked for more from my horse.“ None of the other riders were able to best Jobs‘ time and leave the jumps intact McKayla Langmeier had the fastest 4-fault round as the pathfinder during the tiebreaker with Manhattan Their beautiful effort earned them the third place honors as well as the Shalanno Style of Riding Award which is presented to the junior rider who best exemplifies the American style of equitation The fourth place award went to Giavanna Rinaldi and Dulf van den Bisschop while Friday night’s winners Madison Goetzmann and Wrigley rounded out the top five and earned the Junior Jumper Reserve Championship Seventeen-year-old Jobs began riding Sandor de la Pomme in December of 2014 and has been riding with Missy Clark and John Brennan since she was 12 years old „I’ve had Sandor de la Pomme for about a year and a half,“ said Jobs I have so many incredible things to say about him He has brought me up from the 1.30m to this level He’s really a once in a lifetime horse.“ Although this is Jobs‘ last junior year she is dedicated to the sport and plans to spend the summer in Europe and take a gap year before college to focus on riding „I plan to be down in Florida after Finals in November,“ she stated „I have a great group of horses under me right now and great trainers There are so many people who put in all the time and work It really makes the job easier for me.“ The action will continue Sunday with the Carriage Pleasure Drive and Pony Jumper Championship Highlight events during the Devon Horse Show and Country Fair include the $25,000 USHJA

WEF and Kentucky in the Juniors and First Years but I had no expectations at all for him,“ Kurtz explained so sometimes he makes mistakes; it’s normal And then after I won both classes the first day so I wanted to have a smooth round and not scare him or anything Kurtz and Evermore rode away with the Overall Small Junior Hunter Championship and the Devon Grand Junior Hunter Championship „It was incredible,“ Kurtz smiled „We just kept having to keep circling back I think I have five new saddle pads.“ „It’s a very unique situation for us where she doesn’t own anything of her own,“ Chris explained „Her dad is a high school math teacher To be able to do this at this level… just the people and the support are incredible Amanda (Lyerly) looks out for her and is always coordinating things for her She obviously has to ride well and keep the rides but the generosity of people has been overwhelming.“ Kurtz also earned the honor of second-best child rider on a horse while the top honors

unable to claim even a reserve championship to being crowned circuit champions at WEF and winning at Devon „He’s a horse of a lifetime for me,“ Vlock said but he’s also helped me get some exposure My other horses are actually easier for me to find the jumps on but I just have such a good connection with him at this point that I ride him better He’s number one in the country right now.“ The reserve

the first guest to ever stay the night in the micro-hotel La Pomme our journalist Hilary Edesess interviews the architects behind the project Freshly fallen in the Normandy countryside the micro-hotel La Pomme du Bois Rond—a 16m² wooden guest house that is shaped like an apple—is officially open for reservations as of August 3 While visiting La Pomme for its July 28 inauguration I interviewed the architecture team responsible for the creation of the apple I also had the privilege of being the first guest ever to stay a night in La Pomme.  READ: an article (in French only) featuring Hilary Edesess as the first journalist to stay in La Pomme The apple features the comforts of a hotel room: electricity a fully equipped bathroom and amenities that include a coffee machine and dishes I slept comfortably on the hotel-quality bed gazing up at the Normandy sky through a transparent roof.  READ our previously published article on La Pomme here: “Normandy Inaugurates New Micro Hotel: The Pomme du Bois Rond” In this interview for ArchiExpo e-Magazine, I spoke to architect Aurélie Poirrier and small business entrepreneur Julien Decaillon, who make up the firm Capsulo and who are responsible for the project ArchiExpo e-Magazine: Is this your first completed project as an architect Aurélie Poirrier: I completed a similar micro-hotel in 2017 called Caballon de Monsieur Plocq which is near Nantes a man who actually existed who had acquired the nickname “the bird charmer” Because the Caballon’s location is part of the Loire Estuary its design was inspired by a story that Monsieur Plocq had raised enough birds to lift up this imaginary vessel and carry him to Africa ArchiExpo e-Magazine: How was Capsulo formed going long periods without sleeping in a hotel I always found those experiences to be impactful and I wanted other people to be able to experience that feeling as well Aurélie was living in the same shared flat I lived in One day I looked at what she was working on the 3D renderings of the Caballon and I said I hope to continue.” And so we launched Capsulo in October of 2019 ArchiExpo e-Magazine: What are Capsulo’s objectives Julien Decaillon: Capsulo has two principal goals: to allow people to experience adventures close to home we came up with the concept of the “micro-hotel d’exploration” which has a few specificities Each one is created as a unique custom-made piece it contains a bedroom for a double bed and a bathroom and it is constructed in areas that focus on local gastronomy and allow for tourist interactions with local farmers.   Aurélie Poirrier: It’s beside a forest called the Bois Rond where we are very far from civilization A couple here could be naked without anyone seeing them So we had the idea that the Bois Rond was a garden of Eden where people come to re-energize The second inspiration was from Gautier Fihue the farmer and owner of the land that hosts La Pomme which is different from other farmers who don’t find it practical to have trees in their fields Gautier liked the idea of a seed that becomes a tree and then a fruit And the apple worked well because we are in Normandy which is known for apples and apple products ArchiExpo e-Magazine: How did you find the location for La Pomme du Bois Rond and meet Gautier Fihue Aurélie Poirrier: We posted on the Civam website We wanted to start there because it was important for us to highlight farming as a career and to reconnect city dwellers with the world of agriculture We feel there’s currently a gap; we buy our vegetables and we don’t know where they come from I think that the agricultural world suffers a bit from this incomprehension and it was important for us to rebuild this link ArchiExpo e-Magazine: Who did you collaborate with on the project Aurélie Poirrier: We worked with Solid to build the structure It wasn’t easy to find a carpenter that wasn’t afraid to do what we wanted and that could do everything including finishing touches and plumbing The carpenters at SOLID make up a young dynamic team who have already worked on several artistic creations so they were keen to work with us We also were looking for someone close to Paris where we live because it was our first project and it was important for me to follow the evolution of La Pomme’s construction For a complicated object like this we also had to have regular meetings in order to find solutions Photo credits: La Pomme du Bois Rond ©La Filmerie Production ArchiExpo e-Magazine: What materials did you use For the material covering the large skylights, we had to do a lot of research. It had to be light-weight and be able to fit the shape of La Pomme. We ended up with the transparent Crystal tarp, fabricated by a Parisian workshop Sellerie du Lys which usually makes saddlery for cars and trucks.  which we chose for its technical properties ArchiExpo e-Magazine: How did you construct La Pomme to minimize its impact on the environment Aurélie Poirrier: We put in an electric radiant heating strip under the floor, an eco-film from Sud Rayonnement we won’t need to heat that much because of the bit of sun that there is heats a lot and the heat stays because of the insulation.  We built in two doors to create air circulation which is really important because it’s hot inside on summer afternoons due to the greenhouse effect.  They’re impermeable but because the wooden strips are slightly separated we have good air circulation between the inside and the outside We added ventilation up top in case that wasn’t enough.  ArchiExpo e-Magazine: Did you find that the pandemic helped others to see the value in your goals of tourism locally?  it’s a good moment for our concept because we intend to allow people to experience extraordinary journeys without going to the other end of the earth and to say that the extraordinary is maybe only a few steps from home ArchiExpo e-Magazine: What are your future plans with Capsulo Aurélie Poirrier: This first project was an experiment in mixing architecture and agriculture The farmer who owns the land allowed us to use this spot and was open to working together with us It’s different from a classic tourism project and we hope it will inspire others to host us in different locations We also consult for architectural projects for people who would like to build a similar object and turn it into a guest house.  She’s been working on several dance projects and took full

it was time for the traditional FEI Zangersheide Sires of the World Grand Prix where 54 approved stallions battled it out for the sought-after title – and what a competition it turned out to be.  The course set at 1.50m counted 14 obstacles and 17 efforts The Belgian course designer Eugène Mathy had put together a tough test with a triple combination at the beginning of the course an open water at fence number ten and a final Zangersheide upright causing headache for the riders A total of 14 pairs cleared the first round though and joined the deciding jump-off over a shortened course Gudrun Patteet (BEL) on Sea Coast Valdelamadre Clooney (Centeur Z x Quantum) was the first to go clear in the first round and was joined by Sebastian Adams (GER) on Kolibris Villanova Dree Boeken (King Kolibri x Vulkano) Gilles Thomas (BEL) on Feromas van Beek Z (Fantomas de Muze x Tangelo van de Zuuthoeve) Robinson Maupiler (FRA) on Moncler van Overis (Kannan x Darco) Bas Moerings (NED) on Ipsthar (Denzel Vt Meulenhof x Farmer) Richard Vogel (GER) on Carlchen S (Comme Il Faut 5 x Gelha’s VDL Emilion) and Nicola Philippaerts (BEL) on Gijs (Kashmir van Schuttershof x Numero Uno) Also Christophe Grangier (FRA) on Catch Boom Bang (Cornet’s Prinz x Argentinus) Hannes Ahlmann (GER) on Nerrado (Nekton x Acorado) Philip Rüping (GER) on Casallco (Casall x Contender) Frederic Bouvard (FRA) on Hugh Grant de Muze (Shindler de Muze x Jalisco B) Koen Vereecke (BEL) on Kasanova de la Pomme (Bamako de Muze x Malito de Reve) Gerben Morsink (NED) on Navarone Z (Nabab de Reve x Amor) as well as Christian Ahlmann (GER) on Dominator 2000 Z (Diamant de Semilly x Cassini I) and Gilles Thomas (BEL) on Uncas S (Udarco x Primo des Bruyeres) cleared the first-round track While the event at Zangersheide is run under strict Covid-19 protocols living with the horses and riders every step of the way in the jump-off and cheering their favourites on loudly Koen Vereecke on Kasanova de la Pomme stopped the clock on 34.14 to take the lead When Germany’s Christian Ahlmann – the penultimate rider – entered the ring on the huge-striding Dominator 2000 Z This was quickly replaced by roaring applause though as Ahlmann and the popular stallion crossed the finish line in 34.15 – just behind Vereecke As if the class could not get more exciting Belgium’s very own young gun Gilles Thomas – the last man in the jump-off – broke the beams in 34.16 to put him on the podium as third pushing Hannes Ahlmann to fourth and Gudrun Patteet to fifth.  Koen Vereecke was over the moon with the win and with his horse “I think that from fence one to two I lost time – my horse was playing On the last line I also could have done five luckily for me Christian did not do that either,” the happy winner laughed.  it is like Formula 1,” Christian Ahlmann smiled to the press afterwards Dominator feels good and is getting better and better And that is the most important thing for me: That we seem to be on a very good way with him I could have done one stride less to the last fence and I think that was where it would have been possible to be quicker.”  No reproduction without written permission Koen Vereecke has had the season of his life Vereecke broke into the Belgian A-team this summer – going from strength to strength with the 12-year-old stallion Kasanova de La Pomme (Bamako de Muze x Malito de Reve) Gallen at the beginning of the outdoor season Vereecke finished it off by jumping double clear at the Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup Final in Barcelona – where he helped his team take the win as well as secure qualification for the Paris Olympics While Vereecke might not be a household name outside Belgium he is no newcomer – his first senior Nations Cup appearance took place already 20 years ago I have good horses,” Vereecke says humbly about his sensational 2022-season Vereecke was born into horses and started riding at a young age he had only ever ridden young horses though and was sure that would be his calling – training and selling future prospects could go into the bigger sport a little bit I was always forced to sell the best horses to keep my business going I probably have the best horses that I have ever had in my stable.” I probably have the best horses that I have ever had in my stable Vereecke runs his own stable together with his son Andres while his wife Karline De Brabander is in charge of her family’s renowned De Muze-stud in Sint-Niklaas I have a stable of 30 boxes together with my son I have about ten horses for me to ride and my son has about 15-20 The stallions that I ride are stabled at De Muze The De Brabander-family has been supportive of me; I ride about 10-12 horses for them including some younger horses and five to six older ones Karline runs the stable at De Muze and I run mine so it works quite well – and if something works 2022 has been an unbelievable year for Vereecke one of the horses on the team could not jump so I got in for the Nations Cup with Kasanova and we delivered a result of clear and four where we jumped double clear and after that we went to Hickstead – and jumped double clear again and then I was selected for the team for Barcelona I think Kasanova improved a lot this summer I do think our success is about the whole team around us as well And it all began with my parents giving me a chance to start riding I believe it is about everyone who has been involved; the breeders her family that gave me the chance to ride good horses… There are so many people to thank.” I love to win and winning a Nations Cup is an unbelievable feeling “Competing for your national team is one of the nicest things you can do as a rider I enjoyed riding for the team already at the beginning of my career I love to win and winning a Nations Cup is an unbelievable feeling; you do it with other riders there are so many good riders at the moment who can win –  the competition is so tight – and that makes winning even more amazing nowadays.” Vereecke started to ride the now 12-year-old stallion Kasanova de La Pomme two years ago then he went for over four years to Germany and when he came back my wife rode him for over a year,” Vereecke tells “I took over the reins a bit more than two years ago and last year we won the Sires of the World in Lanaken and he has really proven himself since He has his own personality: At home he can be a little bit lazy and my wife told me to start quietly with him that he gets more motivated once he gets going – and he really likes to jump he is really focused and has a lot of blood he actually only gets better; he gets more concentrated when it gets more difficult.” “His best quality is that he always does his best he always wants to get to the other side of the fence,” Vereecke continues he is careful – he has so many good qualities it was a 1.40m class and it was raining like hell saying: ‘This one is a super star – maybe not now I thought he was unbelievable already then bucking between fences has come to be Kasanova’s trademark “Sometimes the bucking gets a little bit annoying because I think it is part of his personality,” Vereecke smiles “I believe that if I try to take it out of him When I am in the ring with him and we jump 1.60m it is still easy; I never have to push him and if he is able to buck and jump – then so be it This summer he has also proved that he can breed and compete at the highest level he sometimes has to cover already that same evening and he also does so every day he is at home and he is actually quiet – that is a great thing with him.” Vereecke considers himself mostly self-made and by looking at other riders,” he explains tried to be better all the time and I learn by watching the good ones.” Vereecke applies the same strategy to his son Andres by letting him figure out the industry – mostly on his own and I do think it is good for my son to do this own thing seeing him grow from a little kid into the rider he is today but we have also been forced to sell the good horses that he has been riding to keep the business going and build the stable I am always trying to find young horses for him that we can build up together “It is not easy to find enough good horses for two riders though,” Vereecke continues I think having two riders is an advantage for us and we are quite different in our riding styles I ride very natural and forward; he keeps them more together others like me – we try to find the best way for each horse and we try to bring the horses to the right rider instead of trying to change the horses.” “I think the biggest challenge in our sport is to keep the good horses making sure that they stay sound and healthy and try to treat the horses as natural as possible unless they have to jump on grass,” he tells “Keeping the horses barefoot is something my father already did so I guess we have been on the forefront of it before the French and the Swedish made it famous We always thought it was better for the horses I think the biggest benefit of keeping the horses barefoot is that it helps to keep the horses sound – I really believe we have had less injuries because of it that is something that cannot be ignored.” “The most important thing for me is that my horses stay healthy and sound and me as a rider as well – those are really my only goals but my plan is to have a quiet winter and keep my focus on next summer My dream is to ride at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris… but that is a dream I will do my best to get there with Kasanova It is always difficult to make the Belgian team you always see – not only in Belgium – how keeping four top combinations in form and ready for a championship is not that simple Every year when there is a big championship you see good combinations falling out for one reason or another That is why I say my main goal is to keep both my horse and myself healthy.” the better we are as we have the experience and knowledge but back then I always lost them,” Vereecke continues “They were either sold or left to other stables because I had to make my business go around Now I have great support from the De Brabander-family and their horses are not for sale: The stallions cover and their mares are used for embryo transfer – and they stay This has given me the opportunities to reach for the higher level For sure this is the best year of my career if you stay fit in your body and don’t get injured And the good thing is that the older we get the better we are as we have the experience and knowledge.” “It is much more professional now and has become more detail oriented they take better care of themselves and do other sports to stay fit the material is lighter and the horses have changed is that to get somewhere you always need a good horse.” “I hope we stay as an Olympic sport,” Vereecke continues I think it is something most riders understand and take very seriously There is a lot of pressure from the outside from people who don’t understand our sport so I think we have to educate the general public we have to make sure we preserve horsemanship – it is our duty to teach the younger generation how to care for their horses.”  Maelle Martin kept the victory in France in Sunday's CSI3* Grand Prix of St Lo. Aboard her stallion Giovani de la Pomme 25-year-old Maelle Martin was not to be beat by her competitive compatriots Marc Dilasser and Alexandre Fontanelle Only ten riders managed to keep a clean sheet all the way through the 1.50m CSI3* course of the Grand Prix of St Lo Great Britain’s Joseph Clayton and France’s Jérôme Hurel the victory fell into the hands of the young French lady rider Maelle Martin and her 10-year-old stallion Giovani de la Pomme – sired by the For Pleasure-son Shindler de Muze out of the famous mare Narcotique de Muze II Martin turned out unbeatable in the jump-off in St Lo France’s Marc Dilasser and the 9-year-old Cliffton (Clinton x Hallando

Cart for the winner saw clears come sparingly in the first round only two out of the 35 riders managed to finish without faults over Uliano Vezzani’s first round track that counted a total of thirteen fences that included two combinations The two that jumped clear – Pénélope Leprevost of France and Romain Duguet of Switzerland – were joined by another six for round two to total it to eight – with Daniel Deusser of Germany on one single time penalty France’s Aldrick Cheronnet on two penalties and then Olivier Philippaerts of Belgium Jaroslaw Skrzyczynski of Poland and Zoe Conter of Belgium on four faults With generous prize money and World Ranking points at stake there was no problem motivating the riders returning for the second round under the floodlights With the riders carrying their faults from the first round forwards tactics also came into play – and as it would play out it was all about being strategic who finished on her four faults from the first round and with a time of 46.52 seconds as next to go Philippaerts caught Kraut’s time when he crossed the finish line in 45.96 seconds aboard Ikker (Ogano Sitte x Up To Date) With only two time penalties on his record Cheronnet had the chance to take over the lead and went for a steady clear on the well-jumping Atlantys By Wisbecq (Argentinus x Darco) only to record one more time penalty – taking over the pole position on a total of three time penalties and just like Cheronnet he played his cards wisely A steady clear round on the 10-year-old gelding SX Hildago VG (Quadrillo x Andiamo) over the shortened eight-fence track proved to be good enough for the lead with a single time penalty on the score board carried through from the first round The first rider on a clean sheet to enter the ring was Duguet on Sherazade du Gevaudan (Tinka’s Boy x Iago C) and now it was all about repeating the clear from the first round the vertical into the double fell to the ground and Duguet went down the result

Arsouilles Stx x For Pleasure) – taking home the top honours ahead of Deusser and Cheronnet The five-star classes kicked off in the morning with yet another win for Belgium this time around it was Pieter Devos that made it to the top of the podium in the 1.45m Tops Jumps Prize – riding Haloubet Hitchcock (Baloubet du Rouet x Heartbreaker) It was two American ladies that topped the class early on; first Catherine Tyree who later was passed by Lucy Davis who took over the lead aboard Boucheroum (Guidam Sohn x Quick Star) after a lightening fast round over the five fences in the second phase against the clock the American domination was not to last as Pieter Devos quickly thereafter entered the ring and pushed all competition aside to shave off 1.37 seconds on Davis’ time Living legend John Whitaker came close to catch home hero Devos but was still 0.62 seconds behind the winning time and had to settle for second place on Argento (Arko III x Gasper) – pushing Davis down to third

The province has always been a must-visit for veteran climbers from around the world and this year was no exception as people from western Canada, the US and Europe travelled there to climb. The most recent visit from climbers outside the province was by Will Gadd and Sarah Hueniken, who joined up with Nelson Rioux for the first ascent of a new 30-metre M8 called Charleberta at Cap à l’Aigle. And last week, top European climbing guide Jeff Mercier teamed up with local Tom Canac for the first ascent of a 50-metre WI6R variation to La Loutre called La Gerbille. Earlier this winter, Tanja Schmitt and Matthias Scherer met with locals at Rivière St Marguerite and climbed the classics Speedy Gonzales and Le Mulot, as well put up a variation to Pilier. And Rockies climber JC Dubeau teamed up with local Marty Theriault for some classics at Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie National Park, including La Pomme d’Or. Also this winter, Americans Jesse Huey and Matt Segal also visited Hautes-Gorges to climb La Pomme d’Or and La Ruée Vers. Check out some of the photos from Quebec ice below.

They were named in 1613 by Samuel de Champlain who served as viceroy of New France from 1620 until 1625 the name La Belle Pomme was synonymous with fine cuisine in Columbus The famed cooking school originated in a small storefront in Upper Arlington and later moved into prime space Downtown at the Lazarus department store some of the most famous chefs in the country — Jacques Pepin Rose Levy Beranbaum and Sheila Lukins — passed through its doors to share techniques recipes and a passion for well-prepared food Those doors closed 20 years ago this month didn’t start the school with the goal of creating a Columbus institution was transplanted to the middle of Ohio after her husband accepted a teaching position at Ohio State University had been studying cooking in Philadelphia before the move She initially began working as a translator for the Columbus Museum of Art “No one was giving cooking classes in Columbus” at the time so she placed an ad in the Upper Arlington newspaper and started teaching in her home the classes outgrew her house and she faced a decision: pursue a master’s degree in fine arts and continue working at the museum or put all her resources into the cooking school The museum curator helped Rosbottom make up her mind Rosbottom rented a storefront on Northwest Boulevard at North Star Road in 1976 and opened La Belle Pomme — French for “The Beautiful Apple.” The school attracted some of the biggest names in cooking Television had few cooking programs at the time and chefs had to travel to make their names known The school had a reputation for selling out classes — which meant cookbook sales for chefs “I think they really enjoyed coming to Columbus,” Rosbottom said “People were anxious to learn; they were welcoming.” the French chef taught standing-room-only classes for three days After Italian cooking legend Hazan visited the next year Time magazine wrote about the school and the growing gourmet movement in Columbus Rosbottom expanded to a larger space — and Lazarus approached her about buying the school and moving it to the Downtown store but she eagerly accepted the offer because she would remain the director of the cooking school too: The school expanded its kitchen space and she obtained a budget for advertising and access to a housewares department filled with state-of-the-art equipment the sale meant that the school could accept more students 5,000 students a year attended La Belle Pomme filling the seats of more than 100 classes “The best part of the school was the people,” Rosbottom said “They came from far and wide — not only from Columbus and the suburbs but Dayton and northern Ohio still keeps a binder filled with the recipes she received from the classes she took “I feel like Betty Rosbottom kind of made a difference in my life,” Ritchie said “Not only did I learn how to cook — techniques — but also how to source ingredients Ritchie remembers Rosbottom as warm and gracious The school’s teachers made the classes fun and she later joined a wine-tasting group with some of them loyal staff of teachers — including Steve Stover and Rich Terapak who have been teaching together for 35 years became a touchstone for central Ohio food enthusiasts — a small fraternity at the time “She really brought cooking to the masses in Columbus.” the closing allowed her to be in the same city with her husband who several years earlier had accepted a teaching position in Massachusetts (The couple were commuting between there and Columbus.) Yet the school had propelled Rosbottom into a career in food that continues For decades she wrote the syndicated cooking column “For the Gourmet,” which appeared for 20 years in The Dispatch; she is at work on her 12th cookbook Rosbottom still teaches — including an occasional class in Columbus often at the Seasoned Farmhouse cooking school in the Clintonville neighborhood had heard so much about Rosbottom when she moved to Columbus more than 20 years ago that she featured her in the first issue of Edible Columbus Wheeler tapped Rosbottom for advice on how to run a cooking school “She really is a teacher at heart,” Wheeler said “She really taught a whole generation to cook." labraham@dispatch.com @DispatchKitchen There are many phrases in French that use the word apple but drawing connections between them would be like comparing apples to oranges which have always been widely available in France are perhaps the most regularly-used fruit in French phrases the apple was even the symbol of a presidential candidate’s campaign soon-to-be president Jacques Chirac declared himself to be a “mangeur de pommes” and the apple became inextricably associated with his campaign we share eight French expressions around the word apple It is very likely that the phrase is not actually linked to apples at all It probably stems from the old French expression tomber dans les pâmes which means to faint due to a strong emotion explanation traces the origins of the phrase to the theatre French audiences would throw pommes cuites (cooked apples) in response to a poor performance which were supposedly used in England (although that is likely a myth) then ‘they would have fallen in the apples’ although it seems unlikely a cooked apple would knock someone out Perhaps some fresh ones were thrown into the mix as well usually in reference to other children their age apples were often used as a unit of measurement since they were very common which is where the phrase is thought to have originated an equivalent expression would be ‘knee-high to a grasshopper’ This expression is most often translated as ‘a bone of contention’/’having a bone to pick with someone’ but a literal translation is an apple of discord It means a topic of discussion or debate that is likely to cause arguments The expression comes from a story in Greek mythology offended at not being invited to a wedding threw a golden apple inscribed with the message “For the most beautiful” Aphrodite and Athena all argued over who was the most beautiful forcing the mortal Paris to decide and eventually leading to the Trojan War The expression is mostly used by saying someone threw the apple of discord: “il a jeté la pomme de la discorde” Read more: Understand the difference between quoique and quoi que in French Identical to the expression être bonne poire (being a ripe pear) which is more commonly used than its apple equivalent someone who is a ripe apple is someone who is too naïve and easily taken advantage of a ripe apple is therefore someone who falls for tricks like ripe apples fall from trees This is the name given to potatoes in French although this tends to be used more regionally or colloquially It is not entirely clear why potatoes are called ‘apple of the earth’ in French although it is also the same in Dutch with “aardappel” The first mention of pomme de terre in literature is attributed to Henri Louis Duhamel du Monceau When something is described as being aux pommes (literally or something that has been treated with a lot of care and attention Its origins are likely found in Parisian slang although it is not exactly clear where it comes from it also has an equivalent that is more commonly used: aux petits oignons which means something that is done with great care Whilst you might hear these two phrases in the French language you would not hear them in France because they are Quebecois expressions only used in Canada children use a pomme de route as a hockey puck The second expression with Quebecois origins is chanter la pomme translated as “singing the apple” to someone referring to the apple that Eve ate in the Garden of Eden The apple therefore seduced Eve by singing to her or enticing her The second possible explanation is linked to the word paume two possible suitors would hold hands and pressing your palm into the other person’s was a subtle way

normal business and threatens to go down The fact that horses trip is a part of riding life—whether due to inattention on the horse’s part or the rider’s A new video making the rounds on the internet this morning demonstrates what many feel is an overreaction to just such a trip on the part of French rider Pénélope Leprévost stumbles badly in the schooling ring at the Gothenburg World Cup Finals in Sweden Leprévost’s handling of the incident has sparked a social media firestorm and now an FEI investigation and could result in serious consequences for the world’s #5-ranked show jumper We’ll let you take a look and will have more after the jump… According to The Irish Field an FEI representative has confirmed that an investigation is underway in Leprévost’s case and that the organization released the following statement: “The FEI is looking into the full circumstances of the incident in which the French horse Vagabond de la Pomme stumbled very badly prior to the first round of Monday’s competition and the rider The FEI Steward on duty in the warm-up reported the incident to the FEI and also to the FEI Chief Steward.” who reported that the horse was perfectly fine.” “Horse welfare is central to everything the FEI does The FEI’s Code of Conduct for the Welfare of the Horse is in place to ensure that horse welfare is protected at all FEI events.” For her part, Leprévost—who finished 8th in the event with Vagabond de la Pomme—took to Facebook this morning to apologize for her behavior saying that she was afraid after the stumble and overreacted Here is the message translated from French via Facebook: It was actually quite frightening and I really thought that both of us were going to fall down is what is the proper reaction for dealing with a trip Plenty of trainers would argue that if the error was due purely to inattention on the part of the horse—especially a horse who is about to enter the arena to compete in a 1.50-1.60-meter jumping class—that some form correction or “wake up” would be warranted is a correction even fair when the rider is (seemingly) encouraging the horse to lower his head and stretch on a long rein how much

Now in his third year at top French amateur club VC La Pomme the Irish Under 23 star impressed enough last season to earn a paid deal but decided to wait another year "but I decided to keep calm and stay amateur for another year I wanted to continue to progress and make sure I'm ready when the time comes I tend to be good in stage races and seem to get better as the race goes on." is still racing and at 47 showed some of his younger competitors a clean pair of wheels when he won a stage of the Bertoni Gorey Three Day in Ireland at Easter I don't really get much training advice off him," said Martin junior "The advances of technology and knowledge towards training even sports medicine and nutrition nowadays leaves him stumped but it's great to have somebody to talk to who understands what it's like to do it himself He's really influenced my career and helped me as much as he could." Regarded as one of the best young climbers in Europe Martin's ability to go uphill fast has made his signature the most sought after by the top ProTour teams this year His talent has already earned him overall victory at the Tour De Savoie and the King of the Mountains title at the Ronde d'Isard in France this year where he finished second on two mountain top finishes Martin then won the sprints competition in the Tour of Chablis and also impressed in the tough Vuelta al Bidasoa in Spain prompting Team Slipstream boss Jonathon Vaughters to snap up the young Irishman before somebody else did "He is a highly sought after talent," said Vaughters last week "We beat the ProTour teams to the punch in signing this hotshot His talent and also his sense of humour will fit in perfectly to this team We will be debuting Daniel at the Tour of Ireland and we will have a very competitive team It will be the last race we do before the USPRO championships back home." "A lot of people will be surprised I opted for Team Slipstream I think," Martin admitted "They may not be the biggest team in the world right now but they have very big plans for 2008 and onwards but I think they aim to be in the ProTour in 2009 I think their tough stance on doping - they were the first team to introduce internal dope testing - is great and it's one of the reasons I signed for them "They were the first team to make contact with me last year and have kept an eye on me since then," he revealed "They've got some great riders and will likely be signing some big names in the future They have a good mix of racing in both America and Europe and I'm really looking forward to it." Although not signed as a professional until next season Martin will get to show Irish fans what he's made of when he makes his debut for Team Slipstream in the inaugural Tour of Ireland on August 22nd as a stagiare (triallist) "Although I haven't really heard much about it yet and still have to confirm my participation with VC La Pomme who have looked after me for the past three years to make my pro debut in the Tour of Ireland would be fantastic," said an excited Martin "The atmosphere in Ireland for the big races is amazing and to have finishes in big city's like Cork Patrick's Hill on the first stage into Cork is going to be something special To be able to race in Ireland with Slipstream The American squad is no stranger to competing on Irish roads Stuart Gillespie took the best U23 prize at the 2005 FBD Insurance Rás while former Under 23 world time trial champion Danny Pate took a stage win and finished second overall last year having played pass the parcel with the yellow jersey with teammate Mike Friedman earlier in the race The team also has a reputation for racing clean having initiated a series of in-house dope tests on it's riders a factor which also contributed to landing Martin's signature "I tell my guys you can beat someone using EPO but you can't do it overnight," said Vaughters recently "You just have to do everything perfectly and have a bit of luck."

breed’s doyens continues to see his operation go from strength to strength Reed’s most recent big-race victory came courtesy of his homebred four-year-old filly La Pomme d’Amour victorious in the Group 2 Prix de Pomone – Haras d’Etreham at Deauville on August 10 Guy Reed’s breeding operation (which is based at Copgrove Hall Stud having previously been spread between that property and Nidd Park Stud) dates from 1968 when he bought his foundation mare Ardneasken a daughter of Hyperion’s grandson Right Royal At the time Ardneasken was carrying a Sovereign Path colt who proved to be a terrific horse for his owner/breeder earning a Timeform rating of 125 courtesy of wins in such races at the Extel Handicap at Goodwood and the Doonside Cup at Ayr Two years later Ardneasken bred another cracking horse: Dakota a son of Stupendous who won the 1975 Ebor Handicap was trained for him by Sam Hall at Middleham) to Nidd Hall Stud and bred many winners by him including Shotgun (trained by Hall’s protégé and successor Chris Thornton to finish fourth behind Shergar in the 1981 Derby) Reed’s final big-race victory of the last century came in the 1999 November Handicap with the Thornton-trained Flossy but by this stage he was using other trainers too More recently Reed has enjoyed big-race victories with Barry Hills (including the 2003 Lincoln with Pablo and the 2005 Nunthorpe with La Cucaracha) and Kevin Ryan (including this season’s Duke Of York Stakes with Tiddliwinks) whose dam Winnebago was trained by Chris Thornton to win at Hamilton in 1997 Having been raised at Copgrove Hall before joining Fabre’s stable she has thus followed in the footsteps of her sire Peintre Celebre: for approximately the final 15 years of the 20th century Copgrove Hall annually agisted a batch of yearlings for the Wildenstein family winner of the Arc from Fabre’s stable in 1997 being one of the stars to spend some of his formative months under this regime The restaurant's dining room will stay empty until further notice Only part of the restaurant staff will be reassigned and management noted that the current circumstances were at the root of the decision It was not a question of the quality of the team Whereas the situation was already very fragile following months of forced closure due to lockdown there was little doubt that it would become even more difficult in light of the curfew imposed by the government last week only half will be able to get reassigned to other tasks The other half will inevitably be made redundant After the news that
