The Onori category 4- to 7-year-old ster, keur and elite Gelder mares was not a big class with only three contestants, but certainly one with lots of quality. Wim Versteeg commented specifically that the mares were a true match for each other.

The championships title went to Miss Montreal. This dark chestnut mare by Edmundo of breeder and owner Marcel van Bruggen put on a phenomenal performance, with a spectacular front leg and powerful hind leg. This exceptional mover is a true powerhouse. She was last year’s national champion of the three-year-old mares and is still as enchanting and expressive. Miss Montreal is born out of the ster mare Tuwalda by Fabricius.
