Images | Visiting Jos Lansink - Part one
Wednesday, 22 October 2014
At home with...
Valentina van't Heike's super cute baby who is by the equally cute King Julio - out enjoying the last taste of summer at Jos Lansink's yard in Meeuwen, Belgium. All photos (c) Jannicke Naustdal.
-
Two of this year's Cumano offspring.
-
A lovely foal by Jos' eight year old stallion Aganix du Seigneur.
-
"Last year I had fourteen foals, but that is not something I normally would like – it was far too many," Jos laughed when we met him at home. This year he had a few less.
-
It's busy in the paddocks at Lansink's yard! "I think the horses need to be outside, and as little as possible in the box," Jos said during our visit.
-
The beautiful outside area with views to some of the grass paddocks and the outdoor ring.
-
The sand paddocks with the walker and lunge ring in the background.
-
Told you he was cute: King Julio is a seven year old stallion by Jos' former star King Kolibri.
-
The main stable building.
-
The stable is very airy with lots of natural light from the windows in the ceiling.
-
The main stable building with its outdoor boxes.
-
The stallions have their separate stable.
-
Our location!
-
Every esteemed showjumping stable should have a replica of the double of liverpools in Aachen with neighbouring lake.
-
The view from the grass ring to the sand ring. "One day I will use the footing here in the sand ring, then the next day I will take the horse on the grass ring over there and then the next day in the forest," Jos told World of Showjumping.
-
Busy in the ring at Stal Lansink.
-
The beautiful indoor where Cumano and Valentina van't Heike decorate the walls.
-
The real king of the stables: 2006 World Champion Cumano - now 21 years old!
