Jeanette Haazen and Rockefeller van de Zelm unbeatable
at ZZ-Licht level
 At

Championships, but also the setting for many national
finals at the highest levels. Throughout the year, riders
had to compete in several qualifiers in the country
in order to be selected for the finals which were held
in Nijmegen. The ZZ-licht level (similar to U.S. Fourth
level) was one of those divisions in which an ultimate
Dutch Champion had to be appointed
 In
Nijmeghen, Dutch Jeanette Haazen reigned supreme aboard
the Westfalian gelding Rockefeller van de Zelm. Haazen
won the first test with a score of 70.95% and the put
down a similar performance the next day, but then scoring
70.94%. Marieke Voorneveld finished second overall aboard
Legend, while Christa Laarakkers and most wanted placed
third.
Haazen, who has been living in Neerouteren, Belgium,
for a several years now, purchased Rockefeller van de
Zelm from the Zelmhoeve, owned by Geerts family in Mol,
Belgium, in 2000. In 1999, Rockefeller competed in the
finals of the World Championships for Young Dressage
Horses in Arnhem, The Netherlands, under Belgian Stefan
van Ingelgem. Rockefeller is by Rosenkavalier.
