Valkenswaard 2022: Horse inspection in the rain

The sixth edition of Driving Valkenswaard International had a wet start Wednesday afternoon. After all 57 participants had arrived Wednesday morning, the rain broke out in full force. The veterinary inspection for the pair horses was then moved to the indoor arena of Exell Equestrian as the planned inspection track became too slippery due to the heavy rainfall.
