Dutch
Pony Chef d'Equipe Mieke de Kok announced her very first
pony teams for the 2002 competition season. Mieke de
Kok, who took over the position as team leader from
Brigitt van der Eyken, presented the pony teams as they
are preparing themselves for the first CDI competition,
CDI-PJY Bilzen in Belgium.
The B-team is shaped by Danielle Berning with Boszicht's
Kimmy, Stefanie de Frel with Kelvin HH, Loes Huybers
with Aristo, Michael Jansen with Valentino's Prince,
Renate Langenberg with Hertenhof's Jade M and Lotje
Schoots with Boy Liberty.
The
A-team consists of former European Championships team
members Inge Verbeek with Hogewalds Sultan (Welsh, by
Downland Folklore) and Andrea Villaverde with Condor
(Weser Ems, by Constantin). The A-team is further completed
by Minke van der Linden with Frenkie Boy and a promising
new combination from the Van Baalen dressage imperium,
Marrigje van Baalen with Power and Paint. The latter
rider is the cousin of Dutch Olympic team rider Coby
van Baalen, which gave her the necessary liaisons to
acquire a superb dressage pony. Marrigje is riding the
dun Rhinelander pony Power and Paint (by Power Boy),
whom she discovered through Johan Hinnemann. Power and
Paint competed in the 1999 Bundeschampionate finals
under Anne van der Horst and finished fifth that year.
