Spain
The Spanish equestrian federation has announced the names of the pony pairs that will represent Spain at the 2020 European Youth Championships in Budapest on 23 - 30 August 2020.
Spain will only be fielding two individual combinations instead of a team of three or four pairs.
The selected riders are:
- Sofia Del Olmo Bak - Sophienhof's Maroon, a 15-year old Holsteiner bred German Riding pony by Sophienhof's Marok
- Naiara Galindez Urquijo - Altanero CCCCIV, a 14-year old PRE by Gnidium
For the pony-sized PRE bred Altanero, Budapest will be his fourth European Championships in his career; the first time in 2015 with sister Ana Lide Galindez and in 2018 and 2019 with Naiara. Sofia Del Olmo Bak and Maroon will be in their second, consecutive Europeans.
