Halter classes are always scheduled at the beginning of the show, there are no preliminaries, and the first medals for the Netherlands are a fact.

The pair did not only place 4 times 1st and was crowned European Champion; Quinn was also crowned 4 times Grand Champion.
In the category Performance Halter Geldings Amateur Marjolijn presented her horse herself. The pair was placed 4 times first as well, crowned European Champion and again Quinn was crowned 4 times Grand Champion.
