About this video
Belgium's leading eventer, Karin Donckers, has competed at four Olympic Games and was 9th at Hong Kong. In fact, she is rarely out of the top 10, which is remarkable coming from a nation known mostly for dressage! Based with her parents, Karin has a successful breeding programme which has produced many of her top rides. At Express Eventing, she competed her striking chestnut stallion, Charizard, who performed a fabulous dressage test but at only 8 years old, brave as he was, the jumping proved a bit much and they retired during cross country. Certainly a star for the future, perhaps even Karin's ride for 2012!

Bri 19 Feb 2010 What an exciting sport. What a gorgeous gorgeous horse and what an amazing horse woman. It was such a relief to see Karin retire Charizard and not start whipping him to get him over which is all too often seen (mainly in the show jumping ring I hasten to add). Lovely clip to watch.
