CSI Ommen started yesterday. Not yet with international competitions, but with future international show jumping. On Tuesday, July 2nd, 1.10m and 1.20m classes were organized for young show jumpers and national riders. The winner in four-year-olds was Point of Honor (by Conthargos) and in five-year-olds O Kohinoor Ryal K (Cohinoor VDL)
Developing horse and rider talent in an international environment is not new, but not every event offers this opportunity. Show jumping riders Frank and Hendrik-Jan Schuttert, who are themselves expert trainers of jumping horses, know how important this step can be in the training of young horses and are happy to make room in the competition program.
“Talented show jumping horses”
The premier class is perhaps the Hendriks Hoveniers Prize for four-year-old show jumpers at the 1.05m level. Who has the best young horses under saddle? Jack Broek and Alex Bozorg were asked to give grades for jumping and jumping.
“Despite being a relatively inexperienced group of horses, we found them to show a lot of attitude and put in a good round in this impressive accommodation. All in all they were also well presented and we saw some talented show jumping horses with numbers one and two hardly inferior to each other,” says Jack Broek.
