Shows

2009 Imperial Riding Cup

Dutch pony team anchor Antoinette te Riele has won her fourth Imperial Riding Cup qualifier of the 2009 show season, only being defeated once.

Aboard her second pony Danny Boy B (by Flying Dream), Te Riele scored 72,2% and placed at the top of the leader board in a field of 34 competitors.

Trained by Coby van Baalen and Te Riele's aunt Gonnelien Rothenberger-Gordijn, Antoinette also finished fourth with her silver medal winning pony Golden Girl (by FS Don't Worry). Aboard the palomino mare, this young gun scored 70%.

Holland's rising pony star 13-year old Dana van Lierop landed a second place aboard her 8-year old German bred Equestricons Lord Champion (by Le Champion). The dynamic duo scored a strong 71,02%. 2008 Dutch EC pony team rider Anne Meulendijks landed a fourth place with her elegant gelding Boticelli.

Judge Jacques van der Harst was very pleased about the quality of the class and told Dutch equestrian magazine De Hoefslag the following: "Holland doesn't have to feel ashamed of its pony combinations at international shows. Our riders are all sitting well on their ponies and are riding very accurate tests. This is true quality surfacing."

The Hulten IRC qualifier is the fifth out of six qualifiers before the finals in Almelo in the summer. The next and final selection trial is Sunday 14 June 2009 in Aerdenhout.
