2013 World Championships for Young Dressage Horses

The 5-year old Coolhorses Dario and the 6-year old Sir Donovan were the winners at the first national young horse competition in Belgium, which serves as a selection trial for Belgian team nomination for the 2013 World Young Horse Championships in Verden on 7 - 11 August 2013. A massive group of young horses gathered at the first trial held at equestrian centre De Kraal in Zandhoeven on Saturday 13 April 2013.

With no less than 31 horses in the 5-year old division, Isabel Cool and her Dutch warmblood gelding Coolhorses Dario (by Metall x Ro-Lex) faced plenty of competition but surfaced at the top of the leader board after producing an 81,400 earning ride. They were followed closely by Philippe Jorissen on his homebred Rhinelander approved stallion Special Agent Amour (by San Amour x Polidiktus van de Helle) with 80.00 points. Former young rider Brecht d'Hoore completed the top three aboard the Dutch warmblood Dash Boy (by Lord Leatherdale x Jazz) with 77.80 points.

Seventeen horses rallyed for the 6-year old division in Zandhoven and routinier Nick van Laer aced the class. Aboard Sir Donovan (by Sir Donnerhall I x Weltmeyer), van Laer posted a winning score of 80.40 points.  Katrien Verreet and the Oldenburg licensed Bailamos Biolley (by Sir Donnerhall I x Florestan) finished second with 79.000 points.  With the Dutch warmblood mare Charisma (by Painted Black x Contango) Belgian rider Tom Franckx is betting on two Verden starting options, in Holland and Belgium. He is currently submitted to the Dutch long list for Verden and allowed to ride the selection trials in The Netherlands, but the same time the rider is also competing at the Belgian selection trials and keeping his options open there. In Zandhoven he finished third with 77.00 points.
