The Danish equestrian federation has announced the combinations that will represent Denmark at the 2023 CDIO-PJYR Hagen "Future Champions" competition at Hof Kasselmann on 13 - 18 June 2023.
The Youth Nations Cup competition in Hagen is a team selection and observation trial for Denmark, as well as Germany, and performances there have a strong impact on team selection for the 2023 European Youth Championships later this summer.
For the 2023 CDIO-PJYR Hagen teams of three are nominated based primarily on the performances of the riders at the Danish Junior/Young Riders Championships last weekend. The potentials for the fourth team spot go into the CDI-Tour. Danish team trainers Lisbet Seierskilde and Dennis Fisker will be supporting their riders in Hagen.
Long-time team member Alexander Yde Helgstrand was absent at the Nationals and has also not been selected to compete with and against his team mates and peers in Hagen. He competed his YR horse Belantis in Florida this winter and rode him to three second places at the CDI Aalborg at the start of May.
"Alexander participated at our squad training on Vilhelmsborg (on) 22-23 April and did very well with good results at the CDIY Aalborg," Fisker told Eurodressage. "He is invited to ride the CDIY in Aachen end of June and this will count as his selection trial instead of Hagen."
