Especially for the EPTM exam, he flew in from Spain. During the KWPN Select Sale at the KWPN Stallion Show 2024, he purchased no less than two stallions, and he also wants to remain loyal to the studbook in the future: Teddy Beuzet is a true KWPN enthusiast.

Four years ago, the Spanish couple Teddy Beuzet and Alexandra Souto started buying, breeding, training, and selling Lusitanos. Teddy has always had a soft spot for KWPN horses: “I loved show jumping, and when I lived in Dubai, I went to the Longines Global Champions Tour in Doha every year, and I often saw KWPN horses winning there.” When he met his wife, who was more focused on dressage, Teddy noticed that KWPN horses also excelled in dressage. That’s why the duo decided to purchase KWPN horses at the KWPN Stallion Show in 2024.

KWPN Select Sale
During the KWPN Select Sale at the KWPN Stallion Show 2024, the duo bought two stallions: Red Spirit (Blue Hors Monte Carlo TC out of Missy elite EPTM-dres D-OC by Daily Diamond, breeder E.T. ten Bosch from Driel) and Romano (Kjento out of Ketschuna elite pref IBOP-dres PROK D-OC by Fürst Heinrich, breeder H. Germs from Midwolde). Teddy is full of praise for the KWPN Select Sale: “When you arrive at this auction, everything is done. The problem we have a lot in Portugal and Spain is that you buy a horse but you never know about its health. Here, everything is done. It’s a safe purchase, and we appreciate that immensely.”

Prize-winning Romano
After the auction, Kjento’s son Romano was sent to Belgium for further training, but things didn’t go as planned, so he was later placed under the saddle of rider Robbin Kleermans. “When he arrived, he was very thin,” says Robbin. “At first, we thought: ‘He’s nice,’ but he just kept getting better.” Romano has competed three times with Robbin and placed every time. They finished second in the Equisport Cup 2025 with an impressive score of 88.7%, fourth at the NAF Dressage Talent Berlicum 2025 with 85.6%, and third at the VWF Prinsenstad Dressage 2024. “This horse loves going to competitions and is incredibly sweet,” Robbin says.

Gigantic Red Spirit
The chestnut Red Spirit still needs more time to develop, but Teddy also sees potential in him: “We see potential in Red Spirit, and we truly believe he can become a Grand Prix horse.” Rider Robbin adds: “He is very big, so he needs time to develop his body, gain power, and learn to use his legs correctly.” The Spanish horse enthusiast is confident: “We are going to give Robbin all chance to reach the Grand Prix with him.”

EPTM test
Today was the final evaluation of the EPTM test, and one of Teddy’s mares participated. The horse owner flew in from Spain specifically to attend this exam in Ermelo, and it was not without results. His mare P. Magnificat Lemac (Schwarzgold out of Je Ne Regrette Pas stb by Negro, breeder C.M.L. Merino Lopez from Valdemorillo, Madrid) passed the EPTM exam with 77 points. “I bought her when she was two years old. We were not happy with her development in Spain, so we brought her to Robbin. She is cute, but she wasn’t easy.” Teddy was updated weekly on the EPTM test by the KWPN inspectors. “Every week after the evaluation, they told me she had good rideability, and I was very happy about that.” For the exam, the Schwarzgold daughter even received an 8 for rideability.

Future plans
The question of their future plans is clearly answered: stallions Romano and Red Spirit will stay for now. “Red Spirit is very big, but we try to breed with him as well. In Portugal, we often cross Lusitanos with warmbloods. We use a Portuguese mare and a warmblood stallion because Portuguese mares are very calm, so this can give great horses. Trying this with Romano or Red Spirit will be great.” There is no doubt that they will continue with KWPN horses.
