Wonderful results for Wim Verwimp and Jedai de Massa at the World Dressage Championships for young horses!

Wim Verwimp is back! And that was good to see when he participated in the CDI3* Grand Prix with Jedai de Massa last weekend. On 4 September, they achieved a nice score of 65.6%. Then, on 6 September, they shone at the Freestyle, where they managed a score of 71.5%.

It was not only an honour to compete at this championship, but also to see all the other riders with their young talents in action.

Silver for Jorinde Verwimp at the Belgian championship for young horses!

With the 7-year-old Rubis Rose, Jorinde achieved 2 wonderful scores of 74.5% and 73.6% and thus earned silver!

Jorinde also competed in the 6-year-olds with Nixon. Here, they scored 77.6% and 70.8%, resulting in a 6th place.

In the 5-year-olds, Tap Dancer v/h Genelaer showed very nice pieces, unfortunately he was a bit impressed by the arena and did not show as well as he normally does. Among the 4-year-olds, Ulandro v/d Kempenhoeve showed two very nice rounds. He learned a lot at only his 3rd competition!

We look back on a successful championship and are proud of the results of our young talents!
