Following training sessions with the regional team trainers, the German Equestrian federation and its technical staff have nominated the riders which are eligible to compete in the 2018 Preis der Besten qualifiers this year.

It is the most important selection trial on the road to the European Pony, Junior and Young Riders Championships. A long list of riders is made based on the results achieved at the Preis der Besten. The riders for the Preis der Besten are selected based on the results at the two qualifiers in Hagen (14 - 15 April) and Kronberg (21 - 22 April).
