Last Monday the International Equestrian Federation, FEI, announced the competitors of the FEI Driving World Cup presented by Longines. Jumping Indoor Maastricht is happy that all top drivers will come to Maastricht including the current three best drivers in the Netherlands: last year’s winner Koos de Ronde, IJsbrand Chardon and reigning European champion Bram Chardon, who received a wildcard.

Première
Jumping Indoor Maastricht has a premiere this year: for the very first time ever a female driver will compete in a world cup competition: Germany’s Mareike Harm. “It is very exciting, I have to compete against the world’s best drivers. However, taking part is more important than winning,” smiled the 33-year-old driver. The line-up is completed by Australian multiple world champion and world cup winner Boyd Exell and Belgium’s Glenn Geerts.
