In the Young Riders division, the unbeatable Dutch Lotje Schoots took highest honours. Trained by Alex van Silfhout and warming up her horses with hyperflexion, Schoots won the consolation finals witht the super star Rubinstein mare Reine B
and the individual finals kur to music with her World Young Horse Championship finallist Toricelli (by Florestan). Schoots scored 74,83% and stayed 4 % (!!!) ahead of second placed Chantal van Lanen on Beaujolais.
See the photos of how the Dutch Young Rider Lotje Schoots warms up her mare. Reine B (by Rubinstein) constantly opening her mouth and vibrating her lower lip in tension... In the show ring, the silhouette was beautiful though.
Finishing second in the young riders' finals kur to music were Dutch Chantal van Lanen and Beaujolais (by Bright Speed xx)
Danish Anna Kasprzak was fourth in the Kur to Music with Future Cup (by Florestan). They scored 69,42 %. In the consolation finals Kasprzal rode Select Ecco. The horse has super suspended, powerful gaits but lhe ooks a bit overpushed, loosing his balance often and showing no bending in body at all in the traversal movements and voltes.
Diederik van Silfhout rode the Dutch warmblood stallion Rhodium. The horse is lovely, but was constantly holding himself back in the consolation finals. Rhodium was previously competed by Hans Peter Minderhoud at the World Young Horse Championships
