1. Can you briefly introduce yourself?<br />

My name is Marielle Wiegmans and I was<br />

born in Utrecht. In everyday life I am a<br />

Partner at Middenduin Corporate Finance in<br />

Nijkerk. In addition I am a Partner at Evenaar<br />

Yachting in Breukelen. But my great passion<br />

is Sportfonds ParaPaard, part of the national<br />

Disabled Sport Foundation. ParaPaard<br />

supports riding schools and foundations<br />

that offer equestrianism to disabled people.<br />

ParaPaard supports both tangibly and<br />

intangibly. Ambassadors of ParaPaard are<br />

Anky van Grunsven and Gerard Joling.<br />

AUCTION CATALOGUE<br />

ParaPaard ondersteunt maneges en<br />

stichtingen die zich bezig houden met<br />

het aanbieden van paardensport voor<br />

gehandicapten. ParaPaard ondersteunt<br />

zowel materieel als immaterieel.<br />

Ambassadeurs van ParaPaard zijn Anky<br />

van Grunsven en Gerard Joling.<br />

2. Waar komt het initiatief vandaan?<br />

Ik ben een ‘mensen-mens’, paardenliefhebber,<br />

beschik over een groot<br />

netwerk en weet wat over geld. Al deze<br />

‘ingrediënten’ komen bij ParaPaard bij<br />

2. Where does the initiative originate?<br />

I am a ‘people person’, horse-lover, have<br />

a large network at my disposal and know<br />

a bit about money. All these ‘ingredients’<br />

come together in ParaPaard. During my life<br />

I have seen various, often poignant cases,<br />

unfold. People who desperately need to<br />

ride a horse or wagon-bed and who are no<br />

longer, or only to a limited extent, able to do<br />

so due to financial reasons. This motivated<br />

me to set up Sportfonds ParaPaard. Since<br />

then Jumping Amsterdam, CHIO Rotterdam,<br />

Indoor Brabant, Military Boekelo and PSC<br />

Den Goubergh have all become ParaPaard<br />

partners.<br />

Our mascotte Kareltje is also a way of<br />

collecting funds. As an anecdote, Kareltje<br />

can be seen in the film ‘Keet en Koen en<br />

de speurtocht naar Bassie en Adriaan’<br />

(translation: ‘Keet and Koen go in search of<br />

Bassie and Adriaan’.<br />
