On December 18, 2004, Belgian junior/young riders chef d'Equipe Dominique Rimanque organised a clinic at Tineke Bartels' Horse Academy, which is a special test-case for the 2005 show season. Rimanque hopes to schedule six junior and six young riders clinics in 2005 which can prepare the Belgian youth riders for competitions.

Four juniors and four young riders were selected as demonstration riders during this test case clinic in Hooge Mierde, The Netherlands. They were juniors Anouck Hoet, Elisabeth Palmero, Amelie Godfroid, Caroline Ulrici and young riders Arnaud Reper, Julie de Deken, Fanny Verliefden and Isabel Cool. Bartels coached these riders and evaluated their current training level together with their steady Belgian trainers.

Karin Gillain-Hoet was kind enough to provide us the following photo impressions of this JR/YR Clinic at Bartels' Academy.
