After 1.5 years with us, Avelino has left for his new home and he will be missed💙Avi always tried his best, had a heart of gold and it was just fun to go in the ring with him. Wishing him the best of luck with his new rider. Photo by @moisesbasallotefoto

💕Lovey💕 This would have been our last week at the Sunshine Tour... But here we are waiting out the 21 days, like many others, and hoping for better times. @cwd_europe_official @freejumpsystem @horsefirstsupplements @ogilvyequestrian @samshieldofficial @sthippolyt_official Photo by @moisesbasallotefoto

Mike making sure that our photo-budget gets exceeded✨🤩✨ It’s a relief to have the horses back home from Spain. Now we just pray that all the horses continue to feel well, that we will have no health-issues and that the horses all test negative. My thoughts are with all of those who over the last weeks have lost their horses after the outbreak, or have horses that are sick. There are so many heartbreaking stories. Lets hope this outbreak gets under control as fast as possible and that everyone acts responsibly, also so we can get back to work at one point. @freejumpsystem @horsefirstsupplements @ogilvyequestrian @samshieldofficial @sthippolyt_official #cwdriders Photo by @moisesbasallotefoto 
Last week, our stay at the Sunshine Tour came to an abrupt end due to the EHV-1 outbreak that originated in Valencia. We began our travel back home as soon as we had the necessary health-papers in hand, as well as a good plan for our stop-over stables. Last night, all our horses arrived safely at home - a huge relief after a stressful week full of uncertainties and doubts as to what was a good decision to make. I am very thankful to everyone on my team for all their hours and hours of work this last week and for getting the horses home. We are currently monitoring all our horses closely, and pray they all stay healthy. Our horses must always come first, so in the middle of all that has happened the last week, it has been great to see so many mobilizing to help in Valencia. I stay in contact with @carlwalterfox in case any more assistance is needed and will do what I can to help. It’s a relief to hear that the situation slowly seems to be improving although it’s still a long way to go. I am sure that I am not the only one left with a lot of questions after what has happened these two last weeks. When this storm has passed and our horses are safe I hope the FEI makes sure to bring us all answers. We have to make sure that what has happened never can happen again. The welfare of our horses must always be the number one priority of every single person involved in this sport, no matter what. ![A special date❤️8.3.2012 // 8.3.2021

A quick update on this morning’s post regarding the situation in Valencia! A special thanks to: - @sunshine_tour_montenmedio, for organising to send 60 boxes still needed in Valencia from Vejer de la Frontera – as well as getting disinfectant to Valencia. - @metoliva, for the disinfectant that was delivered today in Valencia and for providing more. - @ijrc1977 and Eleonora Ottaviani for all the assistance. Furthermore, a fundraiser is being rolled out by the association Reitern helfen Reitern e. V. I will post more info in stories about this initiative later and you can also check out @worldofshowjumping for more info on how to contribute! As I have been informed, the EEF and the IJRC are now very much involved alongside the FEI, and hopefully this is the beginning of the situation being improved for everyone in Valencia. It’s been a lot of people in the loop today; thanks to each and every one! #prayforthehorsesinvalencia 
Over the last days, there have been some very disturbing reports coming from Valencia about the EHV-1 (neurological form) outbreak. To get an overview of the situation, I have been in contact with one of my German colleagues who is in Valencia to see if I in any way can help. The stories I have been told are heart-breaking, and as a community we have to come together and support the riders who are living this nightmare! The riders are now working on putting a list together on what they need and to get a co-ordinator in charge, and from there on I hope we all can contribute on getting them the help they are asking for! Meanwhile, I am in Vejer with my own horses and the horses of my students. While it feels very difficult to assess what is right or wrong at this moment, it also feels like I will be taking a huge risk moving the horses through stop-over stables in a situation like this. There are so many uncertainties right now. For now, we have decided to stay in the bubble that has been created here at the Sunshine Tour and which I expect to be closely monitored by @fei_global. The OC here is very professional, and I feel that at this moment in time, this is the safest place to stay. I ask everyone to be extremely careful in this situation, monitor all your horses closely and take their temperature several times a day! Hopefully, we can travel home soon with a safe plan in hand. This is a moment in time where we all have to put all our resources in on taking extremely good care of our horses but also showing solidarity with our colleagues in Valencia! #prayforthehorsesinvalencia
