Junior rider Rosalie Bos and young rider Stephanie Kooijman were the winners at the second leg of the 2014 CHIO Cup competition for Dutch youth riders. The second qualifier was held in Emmeloord, The Netherlands, on 23 March 2014 and the riders had to contest the team championship test.
The Weert based Rosalie Bos outclasses more seasoned combinations on her 8-year old Dutch bred mare Bolita (by Uptown). Bos scored a strong 74.41% and referred Dutch team rider Jasmien de Koeyer on Take it Easy (by Florestan) to second place with 73.83%. 2013 European Championship individual medalist Jeanine Nekeman slotted in third on her bay gelding Vlingh (by Flemmingh) with 73.385%.
Judge Monique Peutz was very pleased with the level in the junior division. "Rosalie Bos rode a very nice test in which there was much harmony," she said. "In trot this horse has a lot of extras. Strong points are, for example, the beautiful self carrage and the nice, steady contact. Peutz was also very happy with De Koeyer's performance. "Take it Easy shows a lot of expression in trot. There is beautiful harmony in this combination. The turns on the haunches could have been ridden more precisely." Peutz said about Nekeman that "with this combination the walk is very strong and the walk pirouettes were ridden nice and small. In canter Vlingh could have a bit more jump."
In the young riders Stephanie Kooijman wielded the axe of power with both her horses. On her top mount Winston, she claimed victory on a 73.99% and with the young and inexperienced Don Presidente (by Dauphin) she finished second with 72.32%. Don Presidente is owned by the Smarius family and was initially trained by Imke Schellekens but Kooijman has now taken over the ride. The show in Emmeloord was the first of the new pair. Jeanine Nieuwenhuis and Baldacci (by Havidoff) were third with 70.79%.
"Winston's test was a very nice, easy going test. She scored many 8s for the pirouettes, extended trot and tempi changes," said judge Mirjam Drenth. "Don Presidente gives a nice, consistent image in which the horse has much expression. The pair showed great transitions to the extensions but also into the collection." Drenth also commented on Nieuwenhuis' performance and said that it was "a very correct test with strong canter movements. Sometimes we missed some length in the neck and then the expression got lost a bit.
