Junior rider Sanne Vos and young rider Stephanie Kooijman won the final qualifier of the 2012-2013 KNHS CHIO Cup show circuit. The sixth qualifier was held in Heilo, The Netherlands, on Sunday 12 May 2013. A modest group of sixteen juniors and fourteen young riders gathered at this event for the final opportunity to collect points for the CHIO Cup ranking.

The junior rider division at the 2013 CDIO Saumur on 2 - 5 May 2013 became a multi-national affaire with riders from four different nations winning the trophies in the CDIO and CDI-leg of the competition.  British Charlotte Fry, French Salome Sadoun and Belgian Lavinia Arl dominated the CDIO leg, whereas Dutch Marjan Hooge produced a triple crown solo in the CDI leg.
