Jumping: Gold League Herselt: a different approach

Our horses arrived safe and sound in the Austrian city, Linz. The riders are leaving together with the car, real team building!
Our other team, the Groentenjumping team would’ve also liked to have ridden for the Belgian colours.

Herselt a good place to be!
The organization has his existing all-seasons outdoor and they added a new grass ring.
This way they’re able to have two competitions taking place at the same time.
The competitions of the Gold League will take place on the "all-seasons”ring.
The sport is primary, but also hospitality, entertainment and a friendly family atmosphere is what this competition is aiming for.
Popular games, music, entertainment, food buffets,... there will be something for everybody!
