Junior rider Alexandra Sorensen and Young Rider Cathrine Dufour won the gold medal at the 2013 Danish Junior and Young Riders Championships held in Ringsted, Denmark, on 24 - 26 May 2013. For Sorensen it was her first major title in her career, whereas Dufour has been the unbeatable young rider in Denmark the last few years.
The 17-year old Alexandra Sorensen surfaced at the top of the overall junior riders' ranking after placing first in the team test (72.207%), fourth in the individual (71.228%) and first again in the kur (74.625%). Sorensen won the title aboard the 10-year old Danish bred Camiro Mandoe (by Future Cup x Alfarvad Champion).
Amanda Overgaard and the 12-year old Danish bred Horsebos Smarties (by Gribaldi x Ramiro's Bube) were the runners-up with solid scores of 69.144%, 71.535% and 73.275%. Sille Engermann and the German bred 10-year old Fernet (by Furst Heinrich x Fagott) slotted in third and grabbed the bronze after scoring 69.730%, 71.316% and 72.675%.
Hattrick for Dufour
Dufour claimed her third consective Young Riders' title, this year aboard Kristine Sinding's 8-year old Danish bred mare Orthilia (by Gribaldi x Donnerschlag). The pair posted top scores on the board and got 71.895% in the team test, 71.474% in the individual test and 76.900% in the kur to music, in which Dufour rode to classical music in her signature slow speed style in trot.
The silver medal went to Sweden based Anna Zibrandtsen on the chestnut Hanoverian mare Capriciella (by Cordoba). Last year's Danish Junior Riders' Champion Zibrandtsen made a smooth transition to young riders' level. In Ringsted she improved her scores day by day, going from 68.605% to 70.368% and 73.100% in kur to finish second overall.
Cecilie Lyndrup and her experienced Danish warmblood Lambada (by Lobster) landed the bronze medal after finishing second in round 1 (69.447%), fourth in round 2 (67.474%) and fifth in the Kur (69.450%).
