Pikeur Trophy for Belgian & Dutch Dressage Riders
March 27, 2003
 A
wonderful and promising new show circuit has been created
by KNHS- president Martien van den Heuvel and its sponsor,
the Dutch importer of Pikeur riding clothers, Frans
Brokx. This new show circuit has been named the "Pikeur
Trophy". The Pikeur Trophy is a show circuit for
Prix St Georges dressage riders under the age of 30.
It includes seven qualifiers and a finals held at the
CDI Rotterdam, August 30, 2003.
What makes this Pikeur Trophy so special is that it's
open to Dutch as well as Belgian competitors. In Holland,
there are approximately 50 KNHS riders under 30 competiting
at Prix St Georges level. This is not the case in Belgium.
That is why the Pikeur trophy is especially a stimulus
for the struggling Belgian dressage riders who experience
many difficulties with the transition from Fourth level
to Prix St Georges.
Five qualifiers are held in The Netherlands (June 8:
Zelhem / June 27: Deurne / July 12 or 13: Breda / July
20: Kootwijk / August 10: Roosendaal) and two in Belgium
(June 8: Schilde / August 3: Duffel). The semi- finals
are August 28 and the Finals are August 30, both held
at the CHIO Rotterdam. The top three of each qualifier
is selected for the semi-finals, which will constituted
by the Intermediaire I test. The top five is selected
for the Finals, which will have the Kur to Music as
test.
Brokx Sport, Inc. is the Dutch distributer of Pikeur
riding clothes and has been officially dressing the
Dutch Equestrian Equipes for many years now.
