Organisers of Equidays, New Zealand's world-class equine event, are delighted they can confirm the first clinician for Equidays 2013.
Dutch dressage rider and London 2012 Olympic silver medallist Adelinde Cornelissen will bring her range of skills to Equidays in Waikato later this year.
She is ranked number one in the
FEI world dressage rankings and she will join a range of diverse national and international clinicians at the event from October 18-20 at Mystery Creek Events Centre.
Cornelissen won team and individual gold medals at the 2011 European Championships, back-to-back wins in the FEI World Cup finals in 2011/12 and was ranked number one in the world when she made her Olympic debut at the London 2012 Games, where she took individual silver and team bronze.
Cornelissen and her horse Jerich Parzival have reclaimed the world number one spot in the FEI World Dressage Ranking with a 97-point lead over their nearest rivals.
