2010-2011 Imperial Riding Cup

Dutch FEI pony rider Sanne Vos is on a roll winning her fourth Imperial Riding Cup Qualifier of the season. Aboard Tim Coomans and Coby van Baalen's Westfalian riding pony Champ of Class (by Champion de Luxe), Vos dominated the qualifier in Assen on Saturday 8 April 2011, scoring 71.85% to grab the trophy.

Thirty-eight combinations gathered at Sunrise Stables in Assen to compete in this prestigious pony show circuit, which also counts as observation trial and selecion event for the Dutch pony team.

2010 Dutch pony team member Dana van Lierop returned to the pony show ring aboard Lavinia Arl's Day of Diva (by Don't Worry). The palomino mare, which sold for 65,000 euro at the 208 CHIO Sales to the U.S.A., has returned to Europe under new ownership last year. Van Lierop is currently training and competing the pony and scored 69.91% in Assen to place second. Febe van Zwambagt and her refined black pony Prince Z (by Make my Day) slotted in third with 69.77%.

Dutch pony team trainer and chef d'equipe Tineke Bartels was pleased with the results in Assen. "It's fun to see that the top four of this competition has already been performing well before. I'm very happy with the continuity of the riders' performances."

The final Imperial Riding Cup qualifier will be in Kootwijk on 28 May 2011. The best 16 combinations in the ranking will ride in the Finals held at Outdoor Gelderland in the summer.
