The German Equestrian Federation has released the names of the horse-and-rider combinations which have been entered to participate in the first of two German team selection trials for 2018 World Young Horse Championships in Ermelo in August.
The German federation hosts two team observation and selection trials in Warendorf. The first is a three-day session on 18 - 20 June 2018 and the second is a one-day trial on 3 July.
Several horses are prominent absentees from the list, including Don Martillo (the 2017 World Champion in the 5-year old division) as well as Lordswood Dancing Diamond (the 2017 World Champion in the 6-year old division).
Also Bundeschampion Dominy was supposed to be entered, but his Swedish rider Therese Nilshagen has been called to compete on the Swedish Nations Cup team at the CDIO Rotterdam. This event is a Swedish team selection trial for the 2018 World Equestrian Games and Nilshagen is a strong team candidate with Dante Weltino. Rotterdam and Warendorf overlap on the same days.
