The Dutch Equestrian Federation and KWPN society have announced the long-listed combinations which are qualified to compete in the semi-finals for team selection for the 2017 World Championships for Young Dressage Horses in Ermelo, The Netherlands, on 3 - 6 August. The 15 best scoring horses from four qualifiers held this spring have been invited to the semi-finals.
KWPN bred horses and their riders who vye for a starting place at the 2017 World Young Horse Championships were allowed to compete in four qualifiers held this spring (Almelo, Kootwijk, Nieuw en St. Joosland and Uden). Their highest score at one of these qualifiers counted for the ranking. The 15 highest scoring horses have been invited to the semi-finals, where they will meet the 15 best scoring horses of last year's Pavo Cup Finals.
All horses start from scratch at the semi-finals, after which the short list for the team selection finals will be announced. Those finals will be held over two days in July during the Dutch Dressage Championships.
