2024 CDI-W Pilisjaszfalu

After its inauguration in 2022, the "Central European Young Horse Championship (CED)" has returned on the schedule of the 2024 CDI-W Pilisjaszfalu on 14 - 18 May 2024.

The CED Young Horse Championship is a special international competition to foster young horse sport in Central European countries.

The Format

Though not an official, FEI endorsed "Championship," it is a special competition for 5, 6 and 7-year olds open to Central European riders who will get the opportunity to put their young horses in the spotlight in front of an international panel of the judges with special prizes allocated to them.

The classes are open to riders from all nations, but the results of the Central European combinations (ALB, AUT, BIH, BUL, CRO, CZE, EST, GRE, HUN, LAT, LTU, MDA, POL, ROU, SLO, SRB, SVK, TUR) will go into a separate ranking and count for the special prizes.

For the finals test, there will be live commentary by either the commentating judge of the Ground Jury or by an expert, making the classes educational for the riders and audience.

The classes are open to 5, 6 and 7-year olds with the Preliminary test as warm-up class and the final test to decide the Championship ranking. For each final there is a 1,000 euro purse of prize money.
