Since this is Siebe’s last year in the pony category and the European Championships have just concluded, it is time to say goodbye to Noriego vd Riloo. This pony has jumped many clear rounds together with Siebe and Fleur. Fleur trained Noriego as a young pony up to the 1.25 m level, which he was already jumping at the age of six! Siebe then took over the reins, and by the age of seven, Noriego was already jumping multiple 1.30 m Grand Prixs and Nations Cups clear. He was also selected as a reserve pony for the European Championships in 2021.

Highlights:

• Bronze team medal at the European Championships in Strzegom 2022
• Winner of the CSIO Pony Grand Prix 1.30 m in Zuidwolde 2022
• Winner of the Nations Cup in Zuidwolde, double clear (2022)
• Winner of the overall ranking of the Pony World Cup 2021
• 2nd place in the Pony World Cup 1.35 m in Lyon 2021
• 6th place in the Pony World Cup in Herning 2021
• 2nd place in the 1.30 m Pony Grand Prix in Opglabbeek 2020
• 2nd place in the Pony Grand Prix in Valkenswaard 2020
• Winner of the 1.25 m final at Jumping de Weel 2019
• Twice placed at the MT Ponies classes in Valkenswaard 2019

Today, after nearly four years, Noriego has left the stables and is on his way to his new rider in England. We hope to see him back soon at one of the youth competitions!
