On Saturday, Sept. 13, the National Sports Day was held in Putten.
A day with over 450 starts, a packed program with all beautiful Welsh ponies. Organizationally still quite a few challenges, but that certainly did not spoil the fun ... after all, we do not control everything. The weather was beautiful in the morning, but in the afternoon many combinations had to endure the rain. All disciplines were covered, dressage, jumping, driving and skill. There were also the show sections best riding-menpony and the freestyle. At the end of the day the champions of each discipline were honored in the indoor arena. All in all, another wonderful edition of the National Sports Day, on to next year!!!
