Last week Karin participated in Kronenberg. She finished the long 3* with Namira and Ceres de la Brasserie where Namira ended in a 10th place and Ceres had a beautiful 4th spot! Encore un T participated in the 1* intro, and Karin is proud of the horse, although a bit disappointed in herself by taking the wrong direction in crosscountry and a mistake in the dressage test.
Karin was very pleased that the 2 Swiss owners of the horses where present in Kronenberg.
It was fun to work with the future champion horses. (photo Ceres de la Brasserie by Louie Wouters)

A little more feedback about Karin and Leipheimer's 4 star long competition in Lignière. A beautiful 6th place with a lovely dressage and cross country. The jumping went well, unfortionatelu took 1 bar through a mistake of my own, wich cost us a place in the top three.
Now on to the younger generation of horses! It can not only be Fletcha's and Leipheimer's time to shine, other horses will get the opportunity to shine with Karin as well!

What a competition! A beautiful dressage, a "long"cross country and a technical jumping gave Karin and Fletcha an individual 26th place at the FEI World Equestrian Games 2022 in Pratoni.
Karin is very proud of the results she and Fletcha put down.
As for the Belgian team, unfortunately they ended in 8th place and only the first 7 countries could secure their place for the Olympic Games in Paris 2024.
Still, Karin is highly motivated and you will see more of her soon! Up to the next event; Lignieres with her spare horse from WEG Leipheimer Van T Verahof in CCI4*L !

What a competition! I'm happy with my 6th place, after a good dressage, cross-country and show jumping round, but am especially proud of the achievement of the Belgian riders and team in this year's Nation's Cup in Arville!
A huge congratulations to Tine Magnus with her first place, but also to the (other) Belgian riders in the competition.
Arville was my second competition after the fall in Haras de Jardy, and I really want to thank my trainers, the team coach, my team and last but not least my family, as without them I would not have been able to achieve this result.
I'm ready for the next challenge!
