“De show was heel mooi. prachtige paarden. Goede ruiters. Wat kan beter: Evenhorse is moeilijk te vinden voor de taxichauffeurs. Bij het trefpunt was niemand aanwezig en het was onduidelijk waar we naar toe moesten. we hebben zeker nog een kwartier moeten lopen tot we zagen waar we moesten zijn. Er was daar ook niemand die de tickets controleerde. we zijn dus maar gewoon gaan zitten. De ontvangst kan dus echt beter.”
