Cold hands, hot tea and happy students describe the riding badge exam day
on November 25 at the EWOT Academy
Exam days are always something special. Excited students, nervous parents, and everything else you can imagine. On the 25th of November 2023, the students of the EWOT Academy once again had the honor of taking their riding badges with Mr. Robert Jauck, judge and president of the Salzburg Equestrian Sports Association, accompanied by Michaela Hengster
(also a judge).
The first tests started at 10:00 am. The course was set, the first two students were already in the riding hall and the judges took their seats. Tension, thrills, and expectant looks. It was very quiet in the rider’s lounge and off we went! After all participants had mastered their courses without any mistakes and the students faces looked happy, the first relief could be felt. Mr. Jauck was constantly watched by the parents and spectators, but he also looked quite satisfied with the first results. We are always happy to welcome our favorite judge Mr. Jauck. He creates a good atmosphere and always has everything under control. Including the parents. We continued with the theory part straight away. You always hope that the students have learned well and that you don't get a few reproachful looks from the judges afterwards. It must be said that we already studied hard in October during one of our intensive courses. All the girls and boys also passed the theory part. We came to the final part of the exams. The Dressage tests. Dressage work is also very important in a show jumping stable and is on our students training plans almost every day. There were a few small areas for improvement here and there, but overall, the last part of the exams went really well too. Our two winners of the day were Poldi, who presented his dressage test like a little professional with our super School Master Colour White and his pony Galino, with whom he did the jumping. Our Helena definitely presented the most beautiful dressage test and of course all the other participants also deserve huge praise, because once again we saw really great performances. For the cold hands we had another cup of tea and a big thank you from the whole EWOT team goes to all participants and helpers. Congratulations to our students!
