Nooren hoped to be able to still compete this year, but the medical docters decided different.
Nevertheless the Dutch young rider remains optimistic. "Although I cannot rider horses at home, at competition or somewhere else, I just try to do my part with one arm. I also like to thank my colleagues, friends and family for an amazing season," writes Nooren on her facebook. "I cannot wait until I'm back in the ring in 2017," she concludes.
