Adelinde finished second on a score of 82% in the Kur which normally would have been considered a remarkable achievement. However, she was eclipsed by team mate Edward Gal who set a new world record of nearly 90% on Totilas! Fiona Price spoke to Adelinde before her test about her decision to quit teaching to ride full time. She also talked to her about training with Sjef and found out how she has managed to get the best out of the 'super spooking' but fabulous Parzival. Her rise to the top has been meteoric. In the last three years Adelinde has been Dutch national champion twice and had numerous Grand Prix successes.
