Breitlingh and I headed all the the up to Friesland (Frisianland), which is a whopping 3 hours and 15 minutes drive from where I live.
We entered the Bit Talent Selections. Bit is a huge horse magazine over here and every year they organise a talent-day with Adelinde Cornelissen and her team. She selects the talents and her team tests our stamina, fitness etc.
Firt I had to do a "fitness test". This included boxing, ballet, yoga and other sports, that did not amuse me. I was melting.... I thought I was quite fit, riding 4-5 horses a day, but I was rubbish! Whoops! I wasn't very good at boxing, balancing on the yoga ball was more my thing, ballet/dancing was quite fun and the seriously devastating coordination sport at the end just p*ssed me off, as I couldn't get the hang of it.
There were some funny things though. One of the tests was if you could defend yourself, so they said, who-ever can pinch the most socks of everybodys feet, is the winner. 10 girls.... all really wanting eachothers socks.... I have scratches all over my feet!
The other one was funny, but very tiring. We had to through a ball up in the air, turn a circle, touch the floor and then catch the ball. And they let a dog loose.... if the dog caught a ball, we all had to do 10 push-ups. I think we did 50 push-ups in total.........
I'm in the background of this vid, grey sweater, white jods, looking very tired. We had to do this I think 30 times!
