The 20-year old Saidja Brison has been selected to represent Belgium at the 2011 Young Riders World Cup Final held during the 2011 CDI-W Frankfurt in Germany on 14 - 18 December 2011. The Young Riders World Cup Final is a prime event for which the best young rider of the leading dressage nations is invited to compete against his peers.
Saidja Brison will be riding her 11-year old dark bay Swedish warmblood gelding Moliere (by De Niro x Amiral) at the Final in Frankfurt.
Brison has had a tremendous 2011 show season. A member of the VLP Talent Team, Brison won the 2011 Cup of Belgium in Moorsele, silver at the 2011 Belgian Young Riders Championships and competed on the Belgian team at the 2011 European Young Riders Championships in Broholm, Denmark.
"I'm looking forward to the World Cup Finals, but it does feel different compared to a European Championship or a regular CDI," Brison told Eurodressage. "You are riding against one individual per country and against the best riders only. It's my goal to make it to the Kur Final."
