The Belgian Equestrian Federation (KBRSF) has announced the teams that will represent Belgium at the 2019 European Under 25 Championships in San Giovanni in Marignano, Italy, on 24 - 28 July 2019.
Chef d'equipe Alain Rauw selected the children, juniors and young riders, where as the Belgian Grand Prix team trainer Sjef Janssen is responsible for selecting the Under 25 riders. All selections need to be approved by the KBRSF dressage committee.
"We have a very nice team of Young Riders with a lot of potential," Rauw told Eurodressage. "Also the juniors are good, but it's a pity they are only with three as the fourth (i.e. Zoe Niessen on Dancing Queen) dropped out for fitness reasons. What is historic is that we have a full Children's team for the first time. I am proud."
No Belgian Under 25 riders will go to Italy.
