Swedish young horse rider Jessica Lynn Thomas has been invited as the guest judge rider for the 2024 Pavo Cup Finals in Ermelo, The Netherlands.
The 40-year old German based Thomas (née Andersson) is best known from riding breeding stallion Secret to the silver medal at the World Young Horse Championships.
The KWPN wrote that, "internationally, this rider, who is known for her friendly demeanour, is mainly active with the young horses. Jessica also proved her qualities at the German Bundeschampionate by taking home several medals. With the stallion Benicio she rode up to Big Tour level, and she has worked at stallion station Beckmann and the Hanoverian Verband, among others. In 2017, she and her husband Raphael Thomas (FRA) started their company Thomson Horses, located in the German Süstedt."
The 2024 Pavo Cup Final is the KWPN Young Horse Championship. Qualifiers are held across the country through the spring and summer. In Ermelo the semi-finals take place on 25 July and the finals, in which Thomas will test ride the highest scoring horses, is on 27 July 2024.
