2012-2013 KNHS FEI Pony Cup

Febe van Zwambagt and Dr. Watson won the sixth and final qualifier of the 2012-2013 KNHS FEI Pony Cup show circuit for Dutch FEI pony riders. The final leg took place in Heiloo, The Netherlands on Saturday 11 May 2013 and twenty-five combinations showed up for their last chance to collect points for the FEI Pony Cup ranking.

Febe van Zwambagt and her bay German Riding Pony Dr. Watson (by Don't Worry) posted the highest score on the board of the day: 71.58%. Judge H. Smit commented on Febe that "the execution of her test was very strong. She knows how to make the best out of her pony's strong points."

Jelle Peeters, whose number one pony Den Ostriks Dailan has moved back to Germany and is now with Eileen Henglein, saddled her newest ride, the black mare Fianchetta (by Henry) and scored 69.36% to finish second. Mercedes Verwey and the bay Dutch bred Brouwershaven's Nairobi (by Woldhoeve's Silco) ranked third with 67.78%.

When asked about the level of competition, judge Smit noted that "the level of riding was very high. They are all young girls who ride their ponies very well. The quality of the ponies is also high, but you can see the girls have much talent. They ride correct, controled tests, in which you can see that they prepare all the movements very well, so that the execution is good."

The Finals of the 2013 KNHS FEI Pony Cup will take place on 21-22 June 2013 at the CHIO Rotterdam.
