During the first assessment day of the Verrichtingsonderzoek, the IBOP was also organized in Lunteren. Six participants prepared for the driving tests four participants entered the ring for the driving test.

Judges Arjen Holties and Dieke Slingerland judged the driving test. ‘We saw a green group of participants, which still lacked some experience. This was reflected in the performance.’ Four participants earned a B score. Highest score was for the B star mare Mochyndaear Paloma Picasso (by Cadlanvalley Voyager), from breeder and registered M.C.A. Reijs. According to the judges, Paloma had a stable connection, lots of pace in the walk and a nice self carriage. She earned a Class B with a total of 78.5 points.

Also keur mare FlydonYsbryd Cyfrin (by Ceulan Calon Lan), bred by the FlydonStud and owned by D. Wormgoor, saw her keur predicate change to the Crown predicate. She was ridden by Jorn Elburg.

Edwin Langevoort and Trudi Houwen judged the IBOP riding test. ‘All ponies were presented very nicely and with policy! The WPBR mare Lotti (by Jonkers’ Jayden), bred by W. Venema and owned by M.A.V. Dorresteijn, earned the highest score in the riding test. The judges mention that it is still a young pony, but that she let herself be worked well and also made a neat jump. This earned her a Class B with a total of 73.5 points. Lotti was ridden by Lisa Wieman. The also 3-year-old WPBR mare Spoorzicht's Queen Victoria (by Spoorzicht's Jupiler), bred by Gebr.
