Pony rider Evi van Rooij became the winner of the 2020 Dutch Indoor Pony Championships held in Ermelo, The Netherlands, on 7 - 8 March 2020. 

In the pony division, the three podium place getters all came fresh from the CDI Lier as preparation for the Winter Nationals in Ermelo.

Dutch team rider Evi van Rooij and King Stayerhof's Jango (by Kosmo van Orchid's) reclaimed her title after becoming the 2019 Indoor as well as Outdoor FEI Pony champion of Holland. At the 2020 Indoor Championships she was second in the first round with 74.915% and won the Kur to Music with 77.37%. They edged out Jill Bogers on First Hummer (by FS Mr Right), who posted 74.658% and 75.042%. Lilli van den Hoogen and Martinez Candyman  (by Champion de Luxe) got bronze with 70.513% and 74.958%. 

"I was very happy with my first test. The trot was nice and we didn't make any mistakes. My pony gave me a real good feeling," said Van Rooij, who is trained by her dad Arthur van Rooij as well as Marlies van Baalen and team trainer Imke Schellekens-Bartels. "In the freestyle we had one small mistake, but still we got a mega score I'm very happy with. We've ridden more in Ermelo, but it's still exciting each time. You have to deliver time again. What is so nice about Jango is that he's very stable. He makes few mistakes and always wants to work for you."
