Olivier & Nicola Philippaerts
Ludo en Veronique's two eldest sons, the twin brothers Olivier en Nicola, were born in 1993, and were involved in the horse environment from an early age. Soon some play ponies joined the barn but it all stayed free of obligations and without pressure. A few years ago the genes started to kick in and the twin brothers started riding in a rural pony club.
After that it all went fast. In the L.R.V. they became the best pony riders and with Ludo they frequently traveled to international events. In 2005 they reached the “ Golden Boot ” finals and Olivier became Belgian Champion with the ponies. He was allowed also to participate in the European Championships for ponies. In 2006, next to ponies, they started riding horses in the circuit of Young Riders and the twins participated in Paris, Brussels, Brugge, Nieuwpoort and the Belgian Championships.
In 2007 Olivier en Nicola became 2nd en 3rd at the open Limburg Championship during the CSI** of Hasselt.
