On the first day of February Joyce and Showboy have scored 70% at Intermediaire I level during the semi final for the Dutch indoor championships. With this score the pair qualified for the Dutch indoor championships which will take place in Ermelo, March 1-2.
'Showboy was great! He was very work willing and reacted super on my aids. We had to do the Inter I test and this was only the second time for Showboy that he had to do this test. I am not used to ride this test with Showboy and I thought the schoulder in could go better on the center line. In canter we had some small mistakes so we certainly can still book progress. Now I will hack Showboy for a couple of days, as he deserved this! And then I have a couple of days to work on the details for the national championships', Joyce says.
Beukenvallei's Bink competed as well in the semi final in Uden: Bink was shown at ZZ-zwaar level. He was just not selected for the national championships. 'That is absolutely no problem. Bink is very talented but is still very green in the ring. It was one of his best tests today. I can feel he has made progress. I am very satisfied,' Joyce tells.
