Nicola and Olivier Philippaerts currently prepare for the European Championship Jumping from August 30th to September 3rd at the SNAI San Siro Racecourse in Milan. While Nicola and Tiffany prepare Katanga v/h Dingeshof for the European Championship, Olivier and Coline form a team with H&M Miro. As we share their excitement, we'd love to highlight the exceptional products that play a vital role in their performance. Let's take a closer look at the top-notch gear our talented riders use during the competition.
Protection for horse and rider
Nicola and Olivier both wear a KASK helmet. The difference lies in the details, Nicola wears the KASK Dogma Chrome, while Olivier opts for the Dogma Carbon Shine. A small yet important touch: both helmets feature the Belgian flag. As we prioritize protecting our heads, our focus also extends to our horses' legs. Both Katanga v/h Dingeshof and H&M Miro enjoy the finest tendon protection. We have been devoted fans of Veredus for years, and that won't change during the European Championship. H&M Miro is equipped with the Veredus Kevlar Vento open front boots and the Rear fetlock boot with Techno Sheepskin. Katanga jumps with the general Veredus Olympus Vento front boots.
CWD Saddles: Innovation and Superior Design
Nicola swears by the 2GS while jumping with Katanga v/h Dingeshof. Crafted with a carbon Kevlar Dynamick® tree, this saddle prodives Katanga flexibility and support during jumps, while keeping close contact between Nicola and Katanga. Olivier on the other hand rides H&M Miro under a Classic saddle, with a wooden-frame tree, a polypropylene seat, and composite bars. This one offers them not only comfort, as it eliminates pressure points, but also contributes to a good pelvic orientation.
CWD Bridles: Elegance and Functionality
For their bridles, Nicola and Olivier both choose a 100% vegetal tanned leather bridle by CWD. Nicola rides Katanga with the Raised French Noseband Bridle with fancy stitching. Olivier rides H&M Miro with the Harrie Smolders Classic bridle. This bridle offers optimal comfort with the foam cushion on the headpiece. The clover leaf detail on the noseband adds a beautiful touch.
Parlanti Boots and Roeckl Gloves: Stylish and Functional
When it comes to riding gear, Nicola and Olivier trust nothing less than the best. Their suits are always well designed by H&M. They both opt for elegant and high-quality Parlanti KK Boot/s , ensuring optimal comfort and style. Additionally, their hands are protected by Roeckl Gloves, offering a perfect grip and a seamless riding experience.
