High scores for Bart Veeze and Annemijn Boogaard at Subli Competition Aerdenhout

May 23, 2022

Under sunny conditions, the second competition of the Subli Competition for Young Dressage Horses was held in Aerdenhout on Sunday afternoon, May 22. From the judges there was nothing but praise for the riders present with their talented horses. In the four-year-olds the results were very close, but in the end it was Bart Veeze who took the win with Nero. In the class for five-year-old dressage horses, Annemijn Boogaard was the best with Mr. Magnum Bth.

Both the class for four-year-olds and five-year-olds were judged by judges Piet Groen and Patrick Berends who were able to give very high points to the combinations. The judges were particularly pleased with the friendly manner in which the horses were presented. Patrick Berends says: "We really enjoyed seeing some phenomenal young horses, but what we especially noticed positively was that the horses were presented nicely by the riders. With a lot of harmony, nicely off the hand, from back to front and by letting the horses walk on their own legs. Exactly in a way that suits the age of the horses. That makes you as a judge really happy. Therefore kudos to all riders this competition. If they ride well, you have to reward that with good points and that's exactly what we did. We are not afraid to give high marks to combinations that deserve it."

Four-year-olds

And high marks were certainly handed out to the top three in the section for four-year-olds. Patrick continued: "The results were very close in the four-year-olds, because the horses at the top of the standings were all phenomenal. Bart Veeze's Nero (by Ferguson) was just a little bit more constant and quiet in the bridle than Femke de Laat's Nox (by Furst Romancier) and that made the small difference that made Bart first. With Nero the balance was just a bit better. He also showed a very good pure correct and step. But both horses were great. With Nox, for example, the canter was again sublime. Also the horse N (by Indian Rock) of Ingrid Ockhuisen who came third showed a lot of potential for the future, with an absolutely great trot. There was just a little bit of tension in the walk and some work could be done on the balance."

Five-year-olds

The top three five-year-olds were also rewarded with high points which resulted in finishing percentages above 80 percent. In this class, the winner emerged a bit more clearly. Annemijn Boogaard scored 83.00% with Mr Magnum Bth (by Expression) and took the victory. Patrick: "We really enjoyed Mr Magnum Bth. He walked nicely off the ground in the trot with lots of light-footedness and nice in tact. Definitely a very nice horse. But that can also be said of Mission (by Eye Catcher) who was presented nicely by Femke de Laat. Just like the number three My 7th Sunday (by In Style) of Renate van Uytert - van Vliet. All horses with a lot of potential for the future," concluded judge Patrick Berends.
