Almost 60 riders from 20 countries at the Europeans
The FEI has announced the definite entries for the Para Dressage European Championships, which will take place from 3 to 7 September at the National Equestrian Centre in Ermelo. A total of 57 riders from 20 countries will compete for the European titles and other medals in the individual competition (grades I to V). Thirteen of the twenty countries will sent three or four riders and will be competing for the medals in the team competition. The Netherlands are the defending champions. Although TeamNL has a completely new equipe of riders and horses compared to two years ago, they will be still one of the favorites on home turf. However, the competition will be fierce, with historically strong countries such as Great Britain, Germany, Denmark and Italy.
