Driving competition Gerard Horst in Schalkhaar

  • 16 April 2023

On April 15, Gerard Horst participated with Stapleford Shake A Leg in the driving competition in Schalkhaar, both dressage and cones.

Perhaps the skills training was the greatest for himself! Due to wet terrain conditions, the dressage and cones courses had moved 'slightly' to higher terrain. That 'slightly' turned out to be approximately 1,650 meters in practice. Exploring the cones course was therefore quite a task in a wheelchair.

There was quite a bit to haggle on the dressage test. But considering the track still satisfied with a score of 176 points.

In the cones test, the limited course reconnaissance proved to be too great an obstacle. Driving a few necessary loops in the test and dropping 4 balls, there was no high score. Better luck next time.
