"Don Presidente", now since half a year in the ride of Imke Schellekens-Bartels (dutch Worldchampion with the team and winner of the World Cup in 2007), has had his first presentation in public.
Within the scope of the "Horse Event 2011" Imke presented the young stallion to the enthused fans for the first time.

On her homepage she described this first public scene as follows:

"Imke was afgelopen weekend in meerdere onderdelen aktief op Horse Event. Zij gaf op zaterdag een theoretische les over de opleiding van het jonge dressuurpaard in de KNHS stand en bracht dat later die dag in de Bit piste in de praktijk. Met de Hannoveraanse dekhengst Don Presidente, van de fam. Smarius, liet zij samen met haar moeder zien wat belangrijk is in de opleiding van het jonge paard. Don Presidente was voor het eerst met Imke van huis en vond het allemaal heel interessant, maar gedroeg zich onder het zadel echt perfekt. Imke was erg blij met zijn eerste publieke optreden." (Citation & foto: www.academybartels.com)

We wish and hope much luck and success to this couple on their way to the bigger lessons.
