At the 2017 CDIO Uggerhalne, Danish pony team trainer Jette Nevermann announced the team that will represent Denmark at the 2017 Nordic Baltic Championships to be held in Sweden on 28 June - 2 July 2017.
Denmark will be fielding a very young team of three riders for the FEI pony level championship. The team will consist of
- Amira Aasted Jespersen (12) - Top Tilas
- Sophia Ludvigsen (13) - Kentris Afrodite
- Rebecca Holm Sylvest (15) - Centrum
The Nordic Baltic Championships are a Scandinavian Championships for pony, junior, young riders and Grand Prix riders.
"The task (to pick a team) is always heavy and one usually sleeps on it, but my gut instinct is clear, so we are now taking these three to the Nordic Championships," said Nevermann.
Team captain Rigmor Kristensen added that, "they've done a great job here (in Uggerhalne), and shown that they can ride with an average of 70%, which is great."
This team of three finished second behind Germany in the Nations' Cup competition at Uggerhalne.
