The selection commitee has announced the group of horses that will represent the Netherlands during the WC for Young Dressage Horses in Ermelo from August 3 through 6. 

“Given the quality of the horses and the experience of the selected riders, we head for the championship with high expectations”, states Johan Hamminga, who comprised the selection committee together with Veronique Roerink and Emmelie Scholtens. 

Harmony and submission

“After the three selection dates we have assembled a group of horses we believe can shine at the championship. The WC for Young Dressage Horses does not only revolve around the quality of the horse; the technicalities of the test and the submissive and harmonious presentation also play a big role. It is difficult to predict what the international jurors will think of a specific horse, but we do know that a horse with three solid gaits and a harmonious and easy performance is sure to score points.”

“That element was regularly taken into consideration during the selection process. A horse can have a lot of quality, but still be too green to carry out the test in a way it is appreciated at the championship. Especially for the six- and seven-year-olds the tests are quite demanding. We want to head for the championship with the horses we expect to be able to put in a good performance there. “
