Grand opening of riding hall

Oct 8 2000

Following the completion of the riding hall, stables, training mill and roads in sept, we organized an official opening ceremony on oct 8 2000.

Personal invitations were sent out as well as some advertizing was done in the local newspapers and towards the horse community (De Paardenkrant).

Linda gave a Freestyle demonstration on her favorite horse Edgar, with whom she has participated in the higher dressage competition (at ZZ-L + 8).

 

 

Also the breeding mares Olympia and Ochtendster with her young foal Typhoon were shown.
