2011-2012 KNHS FEI Pony Cup

The 15-year old Sanne Vos and her buckskin German Riding Pony Champ of Class were untouchable in the 2012 KNHS FEI Pony Cup finals held at the 2012 Dutch Championships in Hoofddorp, The Netherlands, on 8 - 10 June 2012. The combination was not shaken by the element when extremely windy conditions not only re-arranged the competition ring but also the ranking in round one.

The Finals of the 2012 KNHS Fei Pony Cup took place over two rounds, a team championship test on Friday and the kur to Music on Sunday morning. Sanne Vos and her 8-year old Champion de Luxe offspring Champ of Class won both rounds with top scores of 76.581% and 78.542%.

The Weert based Rosalie Bos and her 6-year old Dutch bred chestnut pony Paso Double (by Bodo) were outstanding as well but her scores of 74.274% and 75.042% still kept her 3% from the lead. Lotte Meulendijks and the German riding pony Boticelli (by Brillant x Colorado) finished third with 72.564% and 71.833%.

Judge at C Mr. Hamoen was very pleased with the quality of riding of the top three, commenting on the slight difference of training between the numbers one and two. "You notice a difference in training with both ponies, but the two rode a test with a high degree of technical difficulty and both riders are totally motivated to do a good performance."
