2005 European Pony Championships

Last year no Belgian FEI pony rider was allowed to go to the 2004 European Pony Championships in Poland, this year Belgian Chef d'Equipe Laurence van Doorslaer did a good job lobbying

for an entire Belgian team to go to the European Championships in Pratoni del Vivaro (ITA) and the Dressage Committee agreed.

  • Christine Bos - Malibu II (New Forest Pony, by Mambo Moscan)
  • Eline Hubrecht - Van den Hout's Roccy (Welsh Pony, by Silvertop's Ricco)
  • Elodie de Keersmaecker - Ulti Prince (Belgian Riding Pony, by Broomy Prince)
  • Magali Bastaens - Willeke (unknown descent)
  • Reserve: Loraline de Liedekerke - Zion II (NRPS, by Zodiak)

In preparation of the 2005 European Pony Championships, the entire pony team and 5 other Belgian FEI Pony riders are invited to participate in the 3-day training seminar with Tineke Bartels and Bartels' Academy in Hooge Mierde, The Netherlands. The seminar takes place July 4-6, 2005.
