🇳🇱 “Sprookjes” Hobbyhorse Event – Benningbroek

Date: 15 June 2025
Location: Benningbroek, Netherlands
Organiser: Noorderkoggenruiters – LoL Met Je Hobbyhorse Knol
Website: Hobby horse

The indoor arena transforms into a fairytale realm with jump wings painted as castles, dragons and enchanted forests. Morning dressage tests reward precision and imaginative presentation; afternoon jumping heights (40 cm & 60 cm) plus a themed barrel dash determine class champions. Contestants are encouraged—never required—to accessorise their hobbyhorses with story-inspired flair, earning bonus “style seconds” in the final. Start fee €12; spectators €7.50. Event photographers sell digital galleries, and a pop-up crêpe bar fuels riders between rounds. Advance entry via the website closes 8 June or sooner once the 90-start ceiling is reached.
