SM. I hope at least that KB earned “honest money” on his horse-trading bussiness with the Americans 
And I hope someday NED will get olympic team gold, with or without Sjef. It is overdue.
Not sure if the Russians are coming back though, it’ll be interesting when they do.
Not the first time. Caroline Kennedy had a pony named Macaroni that lived there.

It’s obvious that you really don’t know how it works at the top of the FEI dressage circus.
Oh, right! Here’s a photo, http://www.whitehouse.gov/president/holiday/historicalpets3/01.html
There was also the pony, Algonguin, once brought into one of the White House bedrooms http://www.whitehousehistory.org/03/pets/05_menageries.html
It really doesn’t matter if fraud is criminal or civil - it is DISHONEST.
Not turning up to answer for your actions is immoral and the act of a coward.
Nice guy this Sjef huh?
I hope the folks in Tennessee enjoyed their $500,000.00
Yet RUS does, and of course has won olympic team gold (and individual gold, etc). That is my point: NED is overdue for team gold and should get at least try to get one in the history books before RUS comes back strong.

Glad you are around- nice to have the dry analytical mind of a lawyer on board![/QUOTE]
And apparently the immoral one, according to Equibrit. Thanks though : )
There is absolutely a distinction between civil and criminal matters. It is flat out wrong and defamatory to state that someone is a convicted criminal when in fact that person has only been held liable in a civil matter.
Regarding “not turning up” - -I did not represent the guy, obviously, but there are instances where turning up would waive the jurisdictional challenge. It has nothing to do with cowardice or morals at all, but to do with the rules of civil procedure.
If you guys think he is so bad, I don’t see why you feel the need to make stuff up about him. Just stick to the facts.

Why don’t you put you money on the USA instead of Russia. If Russia hires Sjef Janssen and invest the money they did in soccer, we all can forget it.
@ Equibrit : Maybee Anky is also a criminal not saluting the judge (the judge you all seem to disrespect)
Oh please. “No one here would have a clue who he is”??? What planet are you on? People would be lining up to train with him. Including me.
What is a Ferro, if you don’t mind my asking?
Personally, I’m thinking Henk Van Bergen is the man. I see his name more and more all the time now, and he’s done quite a few clinics in the USA and is well regarded. I believe he’s coached a team or teams, not sure what he has had to work with… We can check him out in 2009

Ferro is the highest placed KWPN (Royal Warmblood Studbook of the Netherlands) dressage stallion in Holland. He is ridden by Coby van Baalen.
Past tense. He sadly is no longer.

Great answer. I had started to respond but was not sure if I could do him justice. A. Very. Nice. Horse.

Indeed a very nice horse, who nobody wanted to ride. Finally picked up by Coby and Hinneman, who made him an Olympic horse.
I’ve ridden with CdeK - and what was mentioned previously about him I have never witnessed and actually find hard to believe - but whatever.
I can hardly ride anymore due to health issues - ie fibro/etc but I would hands down ride with CdeK before SJ. I am quite sure horses would rather be trained by CdeK than SJ as well.

This is clearly a pony incorrectly trained by some American who doesn’t know proper dressage! There is no hyper-flexion softness to the neck! Bah!! How is the pony able to crop grass properly without the famous Dutch rollkur grass eating technique? Dutch ponies do it so much better! No gold medal will be awarded here.:no:
