Dutch based Italian young rider Noa Prijs has joined the team of riders at Ad Valk's sales stable in The Netherlands.
The 19-year old Prijs is hired as a young horse rider for Valk.
"I'm so thankful to be able of riding so much young talent every day and work with a great team," Noa took to Instagram.
Noa lives and trains in The Netherlands, but has competed as a youth rider for Italy, as her mom is Italian.
She began competing internationally as a pony rider in 2012 on Mastwood Blackberry. In 2013 and 2014 she showed pony Domino and in 2014 there was also Chardonnay. Noa rode her first European Pony Championships in 2014 with Domino. She moved to junior level in 2015 after taking over her sister Chiara's ride Michigan. The 2015 CDIO-J Hagen five years ago was her last international show.
Noa trains with Emmelie Scholtens, just like her 24-year old sister Chiara Prijs Vitale, who runs her own yard in Delfgauw, a facility they recently purchased after the sale of their property in Castricum.
The Prijs family cooperates with Swedish Sophia Skobe Rosen, for whom they ride young horses. Their most successful sale was Jovian, which they sold to Andreas Helgstrand, and World Young Horse Championship ride Falcon, which they sold to German Grand Prix rider Lisa Müller.
