A huge group of junior riders gathered to compete at the 2019 CDIO-PJYR Hagen "Future Champions" at Hof Kasselmann in Hagen in June 2019.
Not only the Nations' Cup CDIO-J tour drew out Europe's best juniors, the heat was also on in the CDI-J tour in which juniors from Germany, Denmark, Holland, France, Finland and Poland were fighting to catch the eye of their selectors for team nomination for the 2019 European Youth Riders Championships in San Giovanni (ITA) in July.
With 26 combinations in the CDI-J tour, the stakes were high, but it was Henriette Schmidt on the 12-year old Westfalian stallion Rocky's Sunshine (by Rock Forever x Fittipaldi) who captured the first trophy by winning the team championship test with 71.919%. They edged out Romy Allard on the 10-year old Oldenburg mare Summer Rose (by Sir Diamond x Rubinstein).
Allard and Summer Rose might have been just 0.212 behind the winners in the team test, but in the individual test they reversed the roles. Allard won with 73.186% while Schmidt was second with 73.186%.
However in the Kur to Music the Wellington, Florida, based Spanish junior Natalia Bacariza Danguillecourt reigned supreme on the 9-year old chestnut Romantico Ymas (by Belissimo M). They scored a strong 76.142% for the win, beating Schmidt (76.084%).
