Every volunteer is unique—and each and every one of you is truly appreciated. ❤️
Our volunteer team is something special: friends, family, riders competing at our shows, parents of riders who compete at our events, national-level judges, and true equestrian enthusiasts. Even more special: our team ranges in age from 16 to 81—a true reflection of passion across generations. ✨
Your flexibility and dedication are incredible. Stepping in when needed, filling gaps in unexpected situations… you’re always there. 🙌 Because of you, we’re able to create an event like Top Dressage Tolbert.
And a small but very well-deserved shout-out to Mick 👏
Mick has been competing at our shows for years, ever since his pony days, and together with his parents he joins us in Tolbert multiple times a year.
For years, he has taken care of arena maintenance during Top Dressage Tolbert, using the beautiful tractor from our loyal sponsor Noordmachines 🚜✨
And his role has grown—these days he’s also the one solving evening power issues around the showground. A true “handy Harry” we’re very lucky to have!
There’s often negativity about “today’s youth” not wanting to work—but Mick proves the exact opposite. He understands that organizing competitions like this is simply impossible without volunteers.
Together with Mick and all our amazing volunteers, we’ve once again created a top-level event. We couldn’t do it without you. 💙
