2010 Dutch Outdoor Pony Championships

Antoinette te Riele concluded her FEI pony career by winning the 2010 Dutch Outdoor Pony Championships held at the KNHS headquarters in Ermelo, The Netherlands, on 5 September 2010. aboard Sven Rothenberger's German Reitpony mare Golden Girl (by Don't Worry) Te Riele scored 75.79% to earn gold.

The 2010 Dutch Outdoor Pony Championships were supposed to take place in 28 August 2010 but heavy rainfall forced the organizers to postpone the event. After having won Gold at the 2009 and 2010 European Pony Championships, Te Riele put the icing on the cake by adding another national title to her immense list of achievements.

"Golden Girl just went sublime," said Te Riele. "I'm very happy that everything came together again. It looks easy but it's not that simple."

The 8-year old Golden Girl was originally bought at auction by Antoinette's grandfather Adrie Gordijn but the palomino mare sold to son-in-law Sven Rothenberger last year. On Monday 6 August the pony left for Germany and will be a schoolmaster for Gonnelien Gordijn's and Sven's youngster daughter Semmieke Rothenberger.

Dana van Lierop became the 2010 Dutch reserve pony champion for a 74,65% earning ride on Equestricon's Lord Champion. One of three judges even placed Van Lierop first but her overall score earned her silver. Dutch Pony team member Suzanne van de Ven got the bronze for her ride on the Danish bred Welsh pony Majos Cannon (by Marchi). She scored 71.23%.
