Diederik van Silfhout has withdrawn New Orleans (s.Blue Hors Farrell) from the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses, which will take place from September 4 to 8 in Ermelo. No Nonsense D (s.Glamourdale) will take his place in the WC team for the six-year-olds with Emmelie Scholtens.

Diederik stated, "New Orleans has knocked himself on the fetlock, and there's now some irritation there. The recovery is not expected to take long, but for the sake of New Orleans' well-being, we have decided not to rush and to give him all the time he needs."

Dark Rousseau (s.Dettori) and Kim Alting are now the first reserves, while Thomson Nirvana (s.Painted Black) and Jessica Thomas are the second reserves.
