The Danish Equestrian Federation (DRF) and Danish warmblood society have announced the names of the combinations that will represent Denmark at the 2022 World Championships for young dressage horses.
The 2022 WCYH will take place in Ermelo, The Netherlands, on 7 - 11 September 2022.
The DRF and DWB held its final training and selection trial in Vilhelmsborg on 20 July 2022 where they made their pick. A panel of five selectors was in charge - Ane Marie Jensen and Kristian Bech, judges Gunilla Nyman and Birthe Lyder Nielsen, and Grand Prix rider and Danish youth team trainer Dennis Fisker.
The selection of the group of 7-year olds is not yet complete. Three pairs have already been picked, one slot is still undecided as well as the reserve slots. The selection committee might hold another selection moment to decide on those.
