The Italian Equestrian Federation (FISE) has published the names of the long-listed riders in the running for team selection for the 2019 European Youth Riders Championships in San Giovanni in Marignano, Italy, on 24 - 28 July 2019.

After a five year break the European Junior/Young Riders Championships returned to Italy. In 2014 they were hosted in Arezzo, this year they will take place at the Horses Riviera Resort near Rimini, Italy, and they coincide with the Children and Under 25 Europeans. 

The FISE dressage department issued guidelines on how Italian riders could get selected for the team. It recommended a set of shows where they would be observed by the selectors although results from other CDI's also count. 

FISE Dressage Director Cesare Croce hopes that the Italian team candidates will especially focus on riding in front of selector and chef d'equipe Laura Berruto at the CDI-W Lipica (23-26 May), the Italian Championships (21-23 June), and the CDI Leudelange (2-7 July) after which the teams will be announced. Italian based Irish Grand Prix rider Anna Merveldt and her own coach Johann Hinnemann are Italy's official team trainers.
