Junior rider Dana van Lierop and young rider Danielle Houtvast aced their division at the second leg of the 2012-2013 KNHS CHIO Cup for Dutch junior and young riders held in Assen, The Netherlands, on 20 January 2013. The cold winter weather might have dampened the spirits of several riders who didn't want to take the risk of driving the lorry on the snowy road, but those that came put on a great show.
The 2012 European Junior Riders Champion Dana van Lierop won her division aboard a new ride, Finest (by Florestan), scoring 72.84%. She kept Jeanine Nekeman on the dark bay Vlingh (by Flemmingh) at bay as the former pony rider finished second with 70.59%. Marjan Hooge and the Grand Prix schoolmaster Richfield (by Riccione) tied in second place.
In the young riders division the experienced Danielle Houtvast steered her refined Rambo (by Gribaldi) to victory with a solid 74.17%. The long time Dutch team rider created a big gap with the second placed pair, Rosalie Mol on the bay Legend (by Likoto xx), who became the runner up with 70.00%. Lotte Jansen and the 16-year old chestnut Pongo (by Vincent) tied in second place with the same score.
The next CHIO Cup competition takes place on 17 February 2013 in Boxtel, The Netherlands.
