2009 Ermelo: Dutch National Championship
Belgium's Kristel Van Den Abeele, riding Yasmina du Florival, won the 160-km CEI*** Endurance ride and Dutch Championship in Ermelo, Netherlands on 12 June, 2009.Finishing just seconds behind Van Den Abeele were Dutch riders Yvonne Van Der Velde and Jeanne Linneweever, both of whom made up at least 17 minutes on the final 16 kilometer loop to almost catch the leader Van Den Abeele. Unfortunately, both Van Der Velde's horse Joy Escobar, and Linneweever's horse Riki's Macho Man, were eliminated at the finish, for lameness and metabolics, respectively.
Lisette Druenen of the Netherlands, who came fourth across the finish line 25 minutes later, placed second when her horse completed the final vet inspection, making her the 2009 Dutch National Champion. Van Den Abeele's mount Yasmina du Florival also received the Best Condition award. Last year's Dutch Champions, Jannet Van Wijk and Latino finished third. 19 riders from 9 countries contested the 160 km ride, with 6 finishing. Winning time was 9:37.37, with an average speed of 16.62 km/h.
Additional rides were held, including the CEI** 125 km ride, where Maike Grell of Germany, riding Tango Lady XX, finished in first place, just a few seconds over Rashed Saeed Al Kamda of the UAE, riding Taliesen. Heike Blumel of Germany and Voila Kossack finished third; 15 of 21 riders completed the race, and Tango Lady received Best Condition.
