Stallion station De Watermolen announced that Annemiek van der Vorm will be taking over the ride on the KWPN stallion Scandic. The chestnut stallion lost his rider Remy Bastings a month ago as Bastings decided to leave the station to go independent.
De Watermolen has been looking long for a new rider for their top stallion and have hired Van der Vorm to do the job.
Van der Vorm, who has been employed at Hof Kasselmann in Hagen the past year, will be working for both De Watermolen and Team Nijhoff. She'll be in charge of training and competing Scandic (by Solos Carex x Amiral) and Riverdance (Wolkentanz x Hill Hawk xx). The KWPN website reported that Annemiek might also be riding the KWPN licensing champion Johnson (Jazz x Flemmingh).
Annemiek van der Vorm has been one of the most successful Dutch young riders the past decade. She won twice individual silver and team gold at the European Junior/Young Riders Championships and was Rabobank Talent of the Year 2001.
