Marie de Ronde-Oudemans, show secretary for the FEI World Driving Championships and the other sports disciplines in Breda, is very pleased: "Every country can now participate with more than the 3 or 4 drivers competing in the national team. We want to give as many competitors as possible the chance to drive at these championships. Netherlands is a real driving country. We expect that other strong driving nations such as Germany, Hungary and our neighbours Belgium will certainly use this opportunity too.

gbr 100 days to go...60 athletes from 18 countries compete for the World Driving Championship titles in Breda. In exactly 100 days the FEI World Driving Championship Four-in-Hand starts at the Prinsenhoeve Estate in Breda. Around 60 athletes from 18 countries are expected to compete  individually and as team for the World titles from 31st of August until te 4th of September.

The Dutch team will defend their World title in Breda. The team with IJsbrand Chardon, Theo Timmerman and Koos de Ronde, led by chef d'equipe Harry de Ruyter, won the gold medal during the FEI World Equestrian Games in 2014. Last year the trio prolonged the European team title in Aachen. With 5 World titles, the Dutch team is one of the favorites this year in Breda.  

For the individual competition, Australian Boyd Exell, who is based in the Netherlands, is the reigning world champion and four-in-hand driver to beat. This three time World Champion is tough competition for the Dutch drivers, including four time World Champion IJsbrand Chardon. Furthermore the Germand Four-in-hand driver Michael Brauchle may have high aspirations after wining the European title in Aachen last year.

 “In 100 days fro now, the FEI World Driving Championship Four-in-Hand could become exceptionally thrilling” says tournament director John de Vos. “Four-in-hand driving is always a spectacle involving driving skills, speed, power and agility in a perfect balance. But right now all top drivers are highly motivated to win the 2016 FEI World Driving Championship. Yet I would not be surprised if the battle is not limited to these favorites this year.”
