THERMAL, Calif. -January 24, 2020-Tali DeJong (Golden, CO) and Vaillant de Belle Vue were the only pair to finish clear in the U25 Jumper Classic, sponsored by VDL Stud. Although the pair are fairly new, they have taken well to each other, “I just got him in October and this is my fourth show on him,” DeJong shared. “He has such a good heart of gold; he is in my corner at all times.”

Although DeJong will be returning to Dallas, Texas, for a few weeks for school and to compete on the Southern Methodist University Equestrian Team, she is looking forward to returning to Thermal for Week VIII. “I really want to qualify and participate in the U25 EquiFit Invitational. I am really excited for that class and that it got added to the prize list,” DeJong concluded.
