Our team has once again put a big smile on our face. This year at the National Sport Games, known as PON (Pekan Olahraga Nasional) we have collected medals that are worth celebrating for. Team Equinara represented East Kalimantan and have made the province very proud. The Competition took place at Denkavkud Parongpong, West Java on the 16th-25th of September 2016.

Our showjumping team has shown their excellent skills and fighting spirit and won the gold medal. It was an amazing experience for the whole team. The team consisted of great horse and rider combinations: Ferry Wahyu Hadiyanto on Zandor, Yanyan Hadiansyah on Grenadine, Andry Prasetyono on Lady Dance and Erwin M. Yoga on Count Contend. The course was quite challenging and technical as expected from course designer Olaf Petersen. The riders and their horses have handled the course very well with very little mistakes.

However, that was not the only medal. Mira Warganegara and her lovely Lucitano stallion Xeique  have finished their tests in harmony and elegance. Both in the team dressage test and at the freestyle test they have worked hard and looked very beautiful together and won a very well deserved bronze medal in individual dressage.

On the last day of Basarnas Cup 2016, Ferry Wahyu Hadiyanto yet again showed his class. On Equinara Zandor, Sunday (13/3), Ferry won his third class of the weekend, 130 cm with jump off.

On the previous day, Ferry and Zandor have won 120 and 130 cm speed class both with clear round. Their performance remain the same until the last day. Ferry did a clear round that sent him into the jump off with two other riders.

Ferry went aggressive, cut some lines and they clocked 40.78 seconds, fastest time with no rail down.

“I trust him (Zandor) and he gave his trust back to me. He showed his quality again and again. I am lucky to have him,” said Ferry

It was their third win in three different classes at this Basarnas Cup 2016, sending bold messages that they are strong contenders heading into PON 2016.

Competition this season has started. In Parongpong, Bandung, Basarnas Cup 2016 was held from 11-13 of March.

Ferry Wahyu Hadiyanto with Equinara Zandor showed some quality riding at the Indonesian Cavalry Base (12/3). First in 120cm class where they jumped flawlessly and clocked the best time 59.20 seconds with no fault, the fastest among 20 other competitors.

Ferry’s teammate Yanyan Hadiansah on Equinara Bodius also had a clear round with 69.22 seconds. They placed fifth.

In 130cm class, Ferry and Zandor also became the winner. No rail down with 64.61 seconds. Yanyan and Bodius finished second with 68.39 seconds.

“It was a fantastic day for us. Zandor did everything I have asked. Super competition, other participants also did very well,” said Ferry.
