Last year no Belgian FEI pony rider was allowed to go to the 2004 European Pony Championships in Poland, this year Belgian Chef d'Equipe Laurence van Doorslaer did a good job lobbying

for an entire Belgian team to go to the European Championships in Pratoni del Vivaro (ITA) and the Dressage Committee agreed.

  • Christine Bos - Malibu II (New Forest Pony, by Mambo Moscan)
  • Eline Hubrecht - Van den Hout's Roccy (Welsh Pony, by Silvertop's Ricco)
  • Elodie de Keersmaecker - Ulti Prince (Belgian Riding Pony, by Broomy Prince)
  • Magali Bastaens - Willeke (unknown descent)
  • Reserve: Loraline de Liedekerke - Zion II (NRPS, by Zodiak)

In preparation of the 2005 European Pony Championships, the entire pony team and 5 other Belgian FEI Pony riders are invited to participate in the 3-day training seminar with Tineke Bartels and Bartels' Academy in Hooge Mierde, The Netherlands. The seminar takes place July 4-6, 2005.
