Injury
Together with the gelding Arie van Sollenburg (by Olivi) Jorinde can look back to a successful competition period. With the focus on Jumping Mechelen, the preparations went smoothly both during the training sessions and at the competition and the combination was ready for the last competition of the year. Unfortunately, just before Jumping Mechelen, Arie caught a hoof ulcer that seemed to throw a spanner in the works. Fortunately, the sympathetic black gelding was fit again on time due to the right care, which allowed Jorinde to participate in Jumping Mechelen.
New freestyle
Despite the fact that Verwimp could only pick up the training again just before Jumping Mechelen, Arie was in good shape during the tests. She achieved a score of 69.3% with a fifth place during the Small Tour. During the second test, which was the freestyle, the combination achieved a super score of 74.4% and a sixth placement. Extra special about this freestyle was the fact that Jorinde could ride her brandnew freestyle for the first time. “I am super happy with how Arie behaved and continued to listen so well throughout the test. We also had a new freestyle that we drove there for the first time and I enjoyed it every second so it was a very successful race, “said Jorinde about Jumping Mechelen.
CDN Dentergem
There is no time for Jorinde to take it easy in the new year. The first competition of 2020 is planned for next Saturday. With the horses Juwel, Golddream, Eton and Kalahari she will appear in the ring during CDN Dentergem.

With these practice matches, a lot of experience was gained in addition to achieving strong scores. The pupil of Jorinde Verwimp, Ruut Pasgang, rode a real competition with the young James Pleasure where she managed to perform well.
Practice competition
Joining the practice test with Jorinde was the sympathetic horse Eton. Because of the potency that he already shows in the training sessions, it was time to see how this would express itself in competitions. Verwimp brought him out for the first time in the Inter II where the combination immediately achieved a super score of 70.14%. “There were still some errors in the test, but I am very happy with him so far,” Jorinde says about the practice test.
