2009 Belgian Dressage Championships

Pony rider Noemie Goris, junior Mieke Mommen, young rider Brecht d'Hoore and Grand Prix rider Jeroen Devroe have won the 2009 Belgian Dressage Championships hosted at Japanese Reiko Newton's Domaine Mon Souhait in Braine L'Alleud near Bruxelles, Belgium on September 25-27, 2009.

The pony riders took a difficult start on Friday morning as the organization of the show was not up to standard with a very loud sound system and a lot of commotion near the show ring spooking the ponies and their young riders. Several top ponies, therefore, performed below par on the first day but recovered on Saturday and Sunday.

FEI Pony riders podium: Geoffrey de Roy (silver), Noemie Goris (gold), Leyla Larsson (bronze) Aboard the German Reitpony gelding Alexandre Dumas 15-year old Noemie Goris captured the gold medal by acing the individual test and kur to music with plus 70% marks. The silver went to Geoffrey de Roy on his 7-year old chestnut Dutch bred pony Ivano. This combination won on day 1 and finished fourth twice the consecutive days, but staying closed in scores to the top ranked rider. The bronze medal went to newcomer Leyla Larsson who took over the ride on Tonkawa SD from Jorinde Verwimp, who grew too tall for her pony. Larsson had three very consistent rides on Verwimp's grey stallion.

Mieke Mommen and Rocky, 2009 Belgian Junior Riders Champions In the junior riders division there was much movement in the rankings throughout the three days of competition. Only the top rider and gold medal winner, Mieke Mommen on Rocky (by Rockwell) was a consistent performer and scored huge marks in the seventies, with even a 79,000% for her Kur to Music. Back in the saddle of the chestnut gelding Vento 15-year old Jorinde Verwimp claimed the silver after two second places and one fifth in the Kur. The tall Verwimp has said her goodbyes to the pony division and will be competing in the junior riders division in 2010. Emma de Brabandere and the Hanoverian bred Hohenstaufen (by Hohenstein x Langata Express xx) finished in bronze medal position.

FEI Young Riders Podium: Thibault Vandenberghe (silver), Brecht D'Hoore (gold), Magali Bastaens (bronze) It's been a big year for Young Rider Brecht d'Hoore, who made his international break through this show season. Aboard his liver chestnu Dutch bred gelding Sital (by Metall), D'Hoore topped the leader board on all three days of the championships. Trained by his father Paul d'Hoore and occasionally clinicing with Hans-Peter Minderhoud, D'Hoore is improving with each show. Thibault Vandenberge and his chunky bay gelding Decadent (by Davignon) chased D'Hoore to the finish but had to settle for silver. On his heels were Magali Bastaens and her black gelding Topaz (by Kimberly x Samber) who finished third overall and got bronze.

Grand Prix riders' podium: Claudia Fassaert (silver), Jeroen Devroe (gold), Fanny Verliefden (bronze) At Grand Prix level, last year's champions Stefan van Ingelgem and Bart van Malderen's BWP stallion Withney van 't Genthof (by Ferro) were not there to defend their title, so Jeroen Devroe was able to cruise to the gold medal with his 9-year old Belgian bred gelding Apollo van het Vijverhof (by Welt Hit II). Especially in the Grand Prix and Special, Devroe was able to create a huge gap with second placed silver medal winning Claudia Fassaert on the KWPN branded Ostra (by Indoctro). The former young rider Fanny Verliefden and her Oldenburg stallion Rubel (by Rubinstein) grabbed bronze.
