23 juni 2026<\/strong> \u2013 Equestic is trotse sponsor van de Kippenvel Competitie 2026, een unieke wedstrijd in Nederland die in het teken staat van connectie, harmonie en samenwerking tussen ruiter en paard.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Het format van de Kippenvel Competitie<\/a> is gebaseerd op de populaire televisieshow The Voice. Tijdens de selectiedag op 1 juli presenteren meer dan 80 combinaties zich aan zes bekende coaches. Aan het einde van de dag heeft iedere coach twee combinaties geselecteerd voor zijn of haar team, op basis van horsemanship en harmonie. Deze 12 ruiters ontwikkelen zich tijdens de zomermaanden verder onder begeleiding van hun coaches. De finale is op 13 september op Horse Event, waar 6 finalisten zullen strijden om de Kippenvel-titel.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Als onderdeel van de samenwerking zullen 4 geselecteerde ruiters tijdens de trainingen met hun coaches de EQ Saddle-Clip en de EQ Coach-Copilot app gebruiken. Deze tools helpen om het gevoel van de ruiter en de ervaring van de coach aan te vullen met objectieve trainingsdata, om zo weloverwogen keuzes te kunnen maken en steeds oog houden voor het welzijn van het paard.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n De EQ Saddle-Clip registreert nauwkeurig de bewegingen van het paard en geeft de ruiter inzicht in de trainingsbalans en data over bijvoorbeeld ritme, afdruk en symmetrie.
