On Thursday Janneke and Ziroco had their second federation training by federation trainer Wim Ernes. The training sessions are organised by the KNSH for Grand Prix combinations scoring over 65%.

“The first sessions where we rode the complete proof through was in Uden a couple of weeks ago. During the second training in Ermelo we paid attention to the improvement of the piaffe, the passage and the transitions. It was very teachable to be instructed by Wim and we have had enough tips to train further.”

Kazuki Sado (JPN) and Vivian Chang (TWN) were present too, that is why Wim was teaching in English. Kazuki is going to ride the qualifications for Rio with Ziroco and Vivian may be able to get placed as an induvidual amazone.

During the VSN selection at Oosteind Habana Libre A (Zizi top x United) has been placed directly  for the finals on 30 December in Ermelo.
The 3 year-old talented Habana Libre is owned by Janneke van Riet. She bought  the  Zizi Top descendant last April at the Excellent Dressage Sales.

Sanne rode Habana at the VSN selection.
“Habana is a super fine horse. He has shown himself very well at the selection. Especially his gallop is very spectacular!  Forward to the finals in Ermelo!”

 

 

 

Super debut of our 7- year-old stallion Delyon in the ZZZ in de Mortel . Third place with nearly 67% and fourth with 64.4% ……riding two proofs is a bit much but it’ll be ok.

Tuesday evening after the game in the south of Taiwan Janneke travelled by TGV to the capital Taipei to have dinner with a number of prominent business men. At the dinner Janneke gave a lecture on the importance of the support by these international business men for the dressage sport in Taiwan. At the dinner the Minister of Sport and Culture and the Head of the Taiwanese federation were present.

The next morning TV shoots were taken with Vivian Chang and Janneke for the Financial Times in Taiwan. The possibilities for Vivian to be qualified for Rio and the dressage sport in general were extensively discussed.
