It's a great pleasure for us to see that our former mare Ferra van den Bisschop kept all her fighting spirit and gets along perfectly with her new rider Emma De Craene!!

Here below the video of their 1m10 class yesterday in Aalter!

Ferra was purchased by Patrik Lutz on advice of Claire Vanderheyde early 2010. Even though she was re-sold twice to investors (first to our departed friend Jean-Louis Massoni, then to Georges Deneuker, former owner as well of Christy JNR and of HH Azur's mother Sion v/d Zuuthoeve), she remained under the saddles of Patrik and Charlotte Lutz (videos below) until she was 8 years old.

After jumping some 1m40 with Charlotte Lutz, Camille Demolie, at that time a student of Frantz Ducci, took over the reins. Camille and Ferra have won plenty of classses and finished best Belgian pair at the 2015 European Children Championships!

Two months ago Ferra returned to her breeder Tom De Craene from Van den Bisschop studfarm where she will be Emma's partner and a brood mare at the same time. Ferra's first progeny Iris van den Bisschop (8 years) has already been placed several times in 1m40 with her owner Pascale Haep.

We wish Tom De Craene and his family a lot of fun with Ferra in competition and lots of nice and good foals!!
