The 5-year old Oldenburg bred Sopresso and 6-year old Dutch warmblood Cambel B scored the highest marks to win the classes at the second Belgian selection trial for team representation at the 2013 World Young Horse Championships. A large group of young horses gathered at the Zilveren Spoor equestrian centre in Moorsele, Belgium, on 20 April 2013 to collect more points in the ranking which will determine the two qualified horses per age division.
The cards were totally reshaken as new youngsters moved into the forefront. The top scorers of the first trial in Zandhoven were unable to position themselves at the top again, with new horses claiming the spotlight.
Int he 5-year old division Leopold Engelen aced the test with a whopping 86.200 score aboard the Oldenburg Sopresso (by Serano Gold x Depardieu x Feiner Stern). The bay gelding is owned by the Retie based Dutchman Rob van Puijenbroek. Amandine Prevost and her Dutch warmblood stallion Dynamo (by Painted Black x Jazz) were the runners-up with 83 points, while Nick van Laer and the SBS stallion Coraggio van het Bloemenhof (by Quaterback x Florestan) finished third with 81.400 points.
In the 6-year old division Belgian rider Jef Coenegrachts, who recently relocated back to Belgium after a stint in the South of France, competed Gerlinde Lauwers' Dutch warmblood Cambel B (by Numero Uno x Equador) with success. They won the class with 79.20 points and referred Zandhoven winner Nick van Laer on Sir Donovan (by Sir Donnerhall I x Weltmeyer) to a second place with 77.6 points. Katrien Verreet and the Oldenburg licensed Bailamos Biolley (by Sir Donnerhall I x Florestan) slotted in third with 74.60 points.
