AQHA & PRAB Belgian Championship 2018 Destelbergen

The end of the summer vacation also means: Belgian Championship. On the 25th and 26th of August our team headed to the Llyda Stables in Destelbergen to perform under the watchful eye of judges Stefanie Bubenzer (D) and Barry Schuurman (NL). After the cancelled contest in June our team was more than ready. Coach Sofie also added two new combinations to the competition team: Fabian and Eagle participated both for the first time and Diego showed with Gold (and Stany) that he learned a lot. Céline and Mila Mila were the first to perform on Saturday. The girls were ready, Surprise not quite. Mila did well on the pattern, but afterwards Surprise called it quits. Céline and Kiwi worked nicely together as a team.

Demo: we're all champions

It was an early morning on the second of June. We had horses to saddle, patterns to lay out and yes, also fridges to fill. All riders were ready to shine. We showed two western disciplines: horsemanship and trail. Every combination could ride every pattern two times, because the goal was to gain experience. All riders did their very best. And friends and family were happy to cheer them on.  Every rider got a medal and a nice present from our sponsors. Smiling faces everywhere, because we are all champions (or 'paddenstoelen' ;)). Afterwards we enjoyed paninis and drinks at the bar. We talked about our morning and Mila and Sari got to work again and helped to draw the winning numbers of the tombola.  Watch all the pictures Thanks everyone, it was a very special day!
