Ariadna Alvarez Pou, Laura Reija Belart and Carmen Naesgaard won the 2008 Spanish Dressage Championships for Youth Rider held at the Montenmedio Equestrian centre in Vejer de la Frontera, Spain, September 17-19, 2008.
FEI Pony rider Ariadna Alvarez Pou (pictured) won two of the three championship rounds with her pony CAVA Caiusbonus.com. She scored an average of 66,319% with her Welsh pony gelding and referred Alfonso Parra Rubio with Ropeter to the silver medal position (average: 65,326%). Lidia Jumilla Gallego and Rafunel got the bronze medal for their 64,663% score average.
In the junior riders division, Laura Reija Belart and her 8-year old chestnut Hanoverian gelding Flash (by Lanthan out of Waomi) won the first two rounds, but had to give way to Laura Mangado Salvatierra and her KWPN gelding Liguster (by Cabochon) in the individual test. Reija, who just returned from a summer training stint at Coby van Baalen's stable in The Netherlands, averaged an overall score of 68,883 which was good for gold. Mangado ended up with the silver (67,724%) while Estefanía Ríos Arias and Lord De Nicole finished in bronze medal position with 65,624%.
Undefeated young rider in Spain for many years now, Carmen Naesgaard Rodriguez recaptured the gold medal with her Hanoverian stallion Ciowa (by Cheenook out of Wanja) on an overall of 68,998%. The silver went to Ainhoa Prada Ortiz on his Hanoverian Double o Seven (by Davignon) with a 66,928% average. Danae Lara de la Cámara and her PSI auction horse Walz Of Flowers, a 15 year old Westfalian gelding by Weinberg x Paradox, slotted in third for bronze with 66,676%.
