Don't miss this festival of well-bred horses and thrilling sport! The KWPN is preparing for the big final of the inspection season and the young horse competitions in dressage, jumping, and eventing. This year again, the program for the KWPN Horse Days will include five full days of activity and offer a broad selection of events. In addition, the Guided Tour - a must-do experience for those visiting the Netherlands - will take place on August 21, following the conclusion of the KWPN Horse Days.
In response to last year's positive feedback, Dutch horse breeders will be on-site again to share with visitors in their own language about the KWPN and its criteria for selecting horses.

“I believe that ‘less is more’ as they say,” Roffman said. “I think it s important not to over show them unless there is something you need to work through. I want MoTo (Bon Chance) to think of showing as fun because I think that if you can keep it fun and not have the horse in the ring every day and out showing all the time, it’s much better.” Clearly, that strategy paid off for Roffman and Bon Chance, who took the national win with a score of 85.80. The pair had followed the same strategy last year in the Four-Year-Old competition and they earned the title of reserve national champions.

 News Notes for July 28, 2010
The big event this weekend is the Adequan/FEI North American Junior and Young Rider Championships being held at the Kentucky Horse Park. Courtney King-Dye posted news of her first riding experience since the fall that injured her six months ago. Pony Clubbers from several nations, including the U.S., are gathering in Hong Kong this week for competition and a chance to serve as goodwill ambassadors for their home countries. Show jumping rider Rich Fellers earns a nice profile in one of Oregon’s major newspapers. The New York Times reports on an annual summer ritual that has helped fuel the equestrian spirit in many city kids. And an Equestrian Crime Database is launched in the U.K. with the goal of making it harder for criminals to sell items stolen from that nation’s equestrian community.
