Her Royal Highness Princess Haya, the FEI President, will be attending the 2011 European Junior and Young Riders Championships at Broholm Castle in Gudme, Denmark, on 20-24 July 2011.
In April the event organizers announced that HRH Princess Benedikte has become patroness of the Championships. HRH Princess Bendikte once again showed her commitment and gave her support to one of the Danish events to the benefit of equestrian sport.
On the final day of competition, on Sunday 24 July, HRH Princess Haya will present the medals to the new European Champions. HRH Princess Haya will also participate in the press conference that will follow along with the winners.
