The Dutch selection trials for the 2013 World Young Horse Championships were picked up again on Tuesday 18 June with a fourth observation trial at the KNHS centre in Ermelo, The Netherlands. Several cuts have been made to the long-list of horses in the running for Verden.
Each combination had to perform one of the dressage tests ridden in Verden, followed by a short training session with selector Johan Hamminga. Based on the performances, the selection committee cut a few horses from the long list and will not be allowed to return for the next selection event on 1 July 2013.
