Onori is the clothing specialist of Dutch origin, responsible for the tasteful appearance of KWPN officials and crew.

The people involved behind this clothing line also provided an educational show jumping clinic. Henk van den Broek was part of the Stallion Inspection Committee and manages his own show jumping stable in Sevenum. As a former international show jumper, he could guide Renee de Weert well in her presentation with Nelson. Renee is also no ordinary rider, as she won bronze at the World Championships in Lanaken last year with Labantrix. Nelson is a six-year-old son of Highway TN out of the preferent elite mare Fanory by Cardento. He was bred by the Kuipers family and is now registered with Wilgo van de Mheen.

Natural balance
Henk: "Nelson has been successful on several occasions and performed very well in the Stal Hendrix Competition, among others. After the summer, he had a rest period; after all, he must continue to enjoy his work. We have slowly built him up again. This is a horse with natural balance and an easy canter. In jumping, he is an attentive horse, and that's something we teach them: to think for themselves. He doesn't jump too high, but very easily and without effort over the obstacles. Renee, relax your hand and let him turn nicely around your inside leg. Try to get him a bit more on the hindquarters. He maintains a constant canter rhythm and can easily shift. This is an initiative by Onori, so let's make that obstacle a bit higher. The first time he lightly touched it, but the second time you can see he learned from it and jumped perfectly over it. This is, of course, quite an environment for a young horse, but he just keeps doing his job. We have high expectations for this horse." In any case, he fits very well into the theme of this clinic: from young talent to medals at a championship!
