World Championships for Young Dressage Horses

Nothing so satisfying as an easily accessible overview of all the medal winners of the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses in Arnrheim, Verden, and Ermelo since its inception in 1999.

The event was first run as a "pilot" in 1997 in Verden and then officially kicked off in 1999 in Arnheim.

Eurodressage has been covering all editions since 1999 with the exception of four (2001, 2002, 2003 and 2015). All our coverage is linked here.
