At the European Championships in Stzegom, Poland, the Dutch pony dressage riders led by Imke Schellekens- Bartels won team silver. Esmee Boers and the NWPCS Studbook stallion Beauty W were part of the team. Individually, the pair narrowly missed out on the medal.

Esmee Boers was in top form with Beauty W on the day of the Nations Cup. Her very nice harmonious test yielded 74.772% with which she was the best Dutch rider. Individually she came fourth.

Imke Schellekens: ”I am mega proud. All four of them showed what they can do and even more. Everyone rode a PR and are in the top 10 of Europe. The team atmosphere is fantastic. I am a proud coach.”
