The Spanish Equestrian Federation and the PRE breed society (ANCCE) have selected the combinations that will represent Spain at the 2020 World Championships for Young Dressage Horses in Verden, Germany.
The WCYH were postponed from August to 9 - 13 December 2020 due to the corona pandemic.
Originally Dutch trainer Bert Rutten was appointed as Spanish young horse team trainer and selector, replacing Jurgen Koschel. Due to corona he was unable to travel to the select trial held last weekend, even though Rutten did come to Madrid for the Spanish Young Horse Championships two weeks ago.
