Shows

2020 CDN Schijndel

Dutch youth riders from children to Under 25 Grand Prix level gathered at the 2020 CDN Schijndel on 11 July 2020 for their second and last team selection trial for the 2020 European Youth Championships in Budapest on 9 - 30 August 2020.

For the Children, Juniors, Young Riders and Under 25 riders the national show at stable De Molenheide in Schijndel was their last selection event, for the Dutch pony riders it was their first of two. The pony pairs will meet again in Geesteren on 25 July after which the Dutch Pony team will be announced.

"I saw a lot of progress and some positive surprising from riders who are not (yet) in the top group," said Dutch children and pony team trainer Imke Schellekens-Bartels.

In the Children's class Kebie Raaijmakers continued to wield the axe of power. After winning the first selection event, they also topped the second trial with her seasoned competitor Happy Feet (by Tuschinski). They scored 78.100% and left all competition miles behind. Veerle Farla and the 10-year old Formidable (by Tango) were second with 73.800%, while Amber Schelstraete and 2016 Rio Paralympic ride Burberry (by Lord Loxley) were third on 73.100%

For the pony riders it was exciting times at their first team selection event, although the pony pairs already did two "practice" shows to get experience. Competition has only been allowed as of 1 July due to corona in The Netherlands. Lara van Nek, who has already been competing extensively at junior level in 2019, steered former Dutch team pony Baumann's Despino (by Don't Worry x Rosedale Tiberius) to victory with 74.19%. Sita Hopman, who began competing internationally in 2019, caught the eye of the selectors by placing second on her 9-year old Brouwershaven Uthopia II (by Metall x Vita Nova's Hanassie). They finished second with 71.143%. Routinier Jill Kempes and the 12-year old Westfalian bred Next Black Magic (by Nabucco R x FS Pour L'Amour) landed third place with 70.571%.

A new winner came to the fore in the junior division. The third placed pair of the first trial in Exloo now reigned supreme. Evi van Rooij and the 13-year old Don Tango B (by Jazz x Contango) aced the class with 72.374%. She had Shanna Baars on her heels with the 10-year old Fernando (by Westpoint). They scored just a fraction less - 72.323% - for second place. Sanne van der Pols and the 11-year old Dutch warmblood gelding Excellentie (by Don Schufro x Riverman) were third with 72.121%.

At Young Riders level the 2018 European Junior Rider Champion Daphne van Peperstraten and the 2019 European Junior Championship silver medal winning Marten Luiten are breathing down each other's neck. In Exloo Van Peperstraten won, in Schijndel Luiten took home the trophy. Aboard the 10-year old Fynona (by Ampere x Gribaldi) he earning the winning percentage of 76.471%, while Daphne and her 13-year old Dutch warmblood gelding Cupido (by Johnson x Duco) were third this time with 75.049%. Thalia Rockx and her home bred 9-year old Golden Dancer (by Bretton Woods) were sandwiched by them and finished second with 75.049%.

In the Under 25 division Jasmien de Koeyer surfaced at the top aboard Esperanza (by Desperados x Krack C), scoring 74.26(% and edging out the winner of the first selection trial, Febe van Zwambagt on Van Norel and Gabrielle Rensink's 11-year old Dutch bred Edson (by Winningmood x Oscar). This duo earned 74.167%. Van Zwambagt also landed third place on her second horse Fyeo (by United x Jazz) with 70.882%.
