Sanne Vos an the Westfalian riding pony Champ of Class (by Champion de Luxe) won the first leg of the 2011-2012 KNHS FEI Dressage Pony Cup in Nieuw en St. Joosland, The Netherlands, on 29 December 2011. Previously known as the Imperial Riding Cup and now sponsored by a Dutch law firm, this FEI Pony Cup is an important qualification show circuit to obtain scores for Dutch team consideration.
The class was judges by Van Nispen, van Twist and Retera. With a score of 72.48% Vos outclasses the competition and left the other riders leagues behind her.
"Winner Sanne Vos showed a very nice test," said Dutch pony B-team trainer Marlies van Baalen. "Champ looked fresh and his experience from last year showed in the test. In the trot half pass to the left the pony got a bit too fresh and cantered, which was a pity." The 15-year old Vos was ecstatic with her victory. "I'm super proud of my dear dear Champy."
The Belgian based Dutch pony rider Jelle Peeters, the grandchild of O-judge and Judging Supervisory Panellist Jan Peeters, finished second and third. With her new pony Den Ostriks Dailan (by Leunsveld Lord), she placed second with 69.32% and with the bay Nandor (by Orchard d'Avranches) she was third with 69.15%.
Demy Kurstjens and the cute chestnut Ciske van de Beekerheide (by Composer van de Beekerheide) slotted in fourth with 67.74%, while Rachell Fokker and 2010 Dutch team pony Majos Cannon (by Marchi) completed the top five with 67.18%.
