| Good results at Jumping Amsterdam 2011 |
In the Jumping Amsterdam GP Musical Freestyle Richard Davison scored 77,150% with his horse Artemis, representing the 4th place in the end results. It was the first time the “Artemis in Motion” freestyle, a collaboration between Elton John and Joost Peters , was ridden on Dutch soil. In the Small Tour Class, Imke Schellekens Bartels and Toots scored the 2nd place with a percentage of 71,833%. It turned out that the music, originally made for OO7 fitted Toots surprisingly well. In the Amsterdam Team Challenge, a class innovated by the organisation of Jumping Amsterdam, Angela Krooswijk and her Flash score the highest individual score (75,833%) in the Freestyle Final. She rode the Michael Jackson Freestyle I’ve produced for her in 2010.

| New Grand Prix Freestyle for Belgium rider Julie de Deken |
| At this moment I’m finishing work at the new Freestyle for Belgium rider Julie de Deken and Fazinno. The music for this Grand Prix is an original composition which I’ve custom written for this combination. The drums for this kür are played by Sjoerd Rutten who was also featured at the Grand Prix Musical Freestyle of Imke Schellekens-Bartels called “The Spirit of Sunrise”. The premiere of this kur will probably take place at Jumping Amsterdam 2011. |

| Edwart Gal XX wins Musical Freestyle with Sisther de Jeu |
| At the CDI-W Mechelen (Belgium) Edward Gal won the Musical Freestyle with Sisther de Jeu, the full sister of Totilas. There performance was rewarded with a score of 78,450 %. The music I’ve used for this freestyle is partly composed and party takes from Cd’s. Since Sisther de Jeu is very sensitive for sounds and music we’ve experimented with music she wouldn’t react on but would still be nice to listen to for the audience. The win at Mechelen I think proofed we’ve succeeded. Hans Peter Minderhoud scored 2nd place with his mare Exquis Nadine with his “Happy Together” freestyle. They score 75,500 % |

| Premiere of the enhanced “Artemis in Motion” freestyle |
| During the beautiful Olympia Horse Show in London, Richard Davison and Artemis premiered their enhanced musical freestyle called “Artemis in Motion”. This freestyle, a cooperation between Elton John and Joost Peters, scored 73,750 %. Since Artemis has improved so much since the kur firstly was recorded we decided to adjust the tempi’s and add drums and guitars to give more power to the performance. The music for this freestyle was recorded by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra in their own concert hall at Liverpool. A stage where also the Beatles have performed! Edward Gal and Sister de Jeu became third with a score of 77,050 %. |

| Silver and Bronze medal at the Asian Games 2010 |
| At the Asian Games 2010 in Guangzhou (China), the Malaysian rider Quzandria Nur won the Silver medal with her musical freestyle. The kur, which I’ve produced in October this year is based on the synthesizer pop music of the 80’s with a lot of classical arrangements added. Qabil Ambak, als a Malaysian rider scored the Bronze Medal with his “Synfonia del Cavallo” freestyle, an custom composition of mine. Peculiar detail is that Qabil was riding the Dutch horse Wup, normally ridden by Joyce Heutinck. |

| Second Edition Concert Hippique is a great success |
| The 2nd edition of Concert Hippique, the brainchild of Gijs Bartels was a great success. Dutch star singer Trijntje Oosterhuis together with Stephan Geusebroek gave their musical best whilst Imke Schellekens.-Bartels and Anky van Grunsven gave a great show on their horses. Mischa Koot designed a great 12 men strong Torch show and French horse whisperer Jean-Francois Pignon showed all of his beautiful horses. Music and Horses merged together in a perfect way. I was responsible for the musical programming. |

| Edward Gal and Moorlands Totilas World Champion! |
| At the World Equestrian Games in Kentucky Edward Gal and Moorlands Totilas have become the new World Champion. Their freestyle “Totally Totilas” , which I’ve produced in March 2009, was rewarded with 91.800%. The music was rewarded with three times a 10 and two times 9,5. The score is not a new World Record but still it is 6% higher than the Silver Medal winner Laura Bechtelsheimer with Mistral Hojris. Imke Schellekens-Bartels showed a flawless ridden “The Spirit of Sunrise” which was rewarded with a score of 82,100 %, placing her 4th overall. According to a lot of insiders Imke should have been at least 3th in the Freestyle but the judges choose to give Steffen Peters, riding is his home country, the Bronze Medal. |

| Photo Shoot by Arnd Bronckhorst |
| For years I am a great admirer of Arnd Bronckhorst his work. And through our meetings at the shows I discovered what a fantastic person he is . Therefore, after a lot of request for press pictures, I asked Arnd to do a photo shoot. Although I never had seen portraiture pictures of him I was sure he would do a great job. And he did. You can see the result at http://www.arnd.nl/search/search.php?q=Joost+Peters&l=en The pictures are also used on this website. |
