Fast Trot on the Dellewal

I haven’t told you yet that I once took part in the fast trotting on the Dellewal. On Queen Wilhelmina’s birthday, there was a party on Terschelling. First with all the horses galloping together, but that became a big mess. Some ended up in the water and others flew into the dune. No, that was a failure. There were also far too many horses, and the Dellewal is not that wide.
