Wendy knows how; looking forward to the Belgian Championships at Nieuwpoort!

The last weekend of August there’s the Belgian Championships for students and pony riders. The Belgian Cup has been ridden early these holidays and Jeroen had a great experience there. My sister Wendy, mum of our nephew Jeroen De Winter, had a plan. If it was good there, then they were going to compete with Flor at the Belgian Championships of the ponies. But for a while Flor lost his confidence on the water. They’re still training every day until the confidence is back to jump the water.
Because Jeroen is trying so hard we gave him a little something extra. We first had to discuss it all and see if it was possible and if everybody was agreeing but it worked out after seeing the first training. Patrick is giving Cyber to Jeroen to jump the Belgian Championships of the students. That’s at the same time as the Belgian Championships of the ponies. For Cyber it’s a holiday at the coast and Jeroen is looking forward to it. That it will be straight away a success we don’t know yet. But we enjoyed already seeing them training together. Nice to watch!
We still have some other competitions to do before all that.
This weekend Patrick is combining the national show in De Warre with the more experienced horses with the Belgian Championships for young horses. The results of the young horses can be followed by the link.

Next week we go to the show in Vilvoorde, the week of 27-29 August, it will be the Belgian Championships for Children in Nieuwpoort.
Also with the ponies we can go again this weekend, on the 15 of August we go to the LRV show in Tielen. Jeroen will be training with Cyber in between. Patrick is really proud that he can give Cyber to him but he’s also looking forward to get him back afterwards. Just in case….
