The German Equestrian Federation has announced the dressage youth squads for 2024 from pony and children to young riders' level.
Squad submission is essential for a horse-and-rider combination to be considered for team selection in the upcoming years. Squads are updated when the first results of the new year spring season have come in.
Especially the pony squad has undergone drastic changes as several team riders have reached the age limit and are no longer eligible to compete on ponies in 2024. They have been removed from the squad. Same for several children team riders who will turn 15 in 2024.
In the junior squad Rose Oatley's second horse Rock Revolution is included in the squad. The horse last competed in October 2022. Several squad listed juniors who will move to the young riders class in 2024 will have to prove themselves first before they are submitted.
Soon to be Young Rider Allegra Schmitz-Morkramer's number one junior horse Libertad, with whom she rode the 2023 European Junior Championships, is not yet listed on the Young Riders squad for 2024 but with her sister Helena’s Lifestyle she’s already gaining experience at that level. Lucie-Anouk Baumgurtel's Hugo FH, who hasn't competed internationally since July 2022 and nationally in October 2022, is submitted to the YR squad.
