Thibault chases his ambitions. An uplifting training in Gorla Minora at the beginning of the year sets the line for the next months. He accumulates one victory after another, both in Junior championships and at international competitions. He wins no less than 24 international shows and qualifies for even more rankings.
He finishes European Championships for Juniors in Fontainebleau with a shining bronze medal after an outstanding performance in the saddle of Cataleya 3. On top, Thibault and his Belgian teammates defend Belgium’s top position and become European Champion. No doubt that also this generation is full of talent.
Not only Cataleya 3, but also Jami van Dorperheide is there to witness many victories. At this moment, Thibault is still a student that has to go to class during the day. “I combine equestrian with high school at the Sint-Augustinus institute in Bree. When I graduate, all my focus will go to the horses, as the combination with higher studies is almost impossible.”
