<\/a>Silver medalwinner Villeneuve<\/p><\/div>\n
Last starter of today, was the leader of the intermediary rankings, the German rider Laura Strobel and the by Edeltraud H\u00e4hn bred Rheinlander Villeneuve (Vitalis x Dancier). She was able to nestle her expressive stallion between numbers 1 and 2 and consequently claimed the silver. \u201cThe trot has a lot of rhythm and expression and continued to improve during the test,\u201d says Isobel Wessels. \u201cIn the collection he stays nicely uphill, a 9.4. The walk was active, pure and with good overtrack. He could follow the hand a bit better at times, an 8.8. The canter is expressive, uphill, covers a lot of ground and shows a lot of ability to collect and extend. The flying changes were good too, a 9.8. The submission receives an 8.7 and we truly believe this is a horse for the future, a 9.5 for perspective.\u201d The 9.24 brought Laura the silver medal. \u201cUnbelievable, this is the first time I participate in this championship. It felt good, so I hoped it looked good as well. I am so happy with this horse! Hopefully, I can continue to ride him for a while!\u201d<\/p>\n
President of the judges Dietrich Plewa was full of praise about the organization. \u201cIt keeps getting better every year. The first year in Ermelo was good, last year was very good and this year was nearly perfect. We got honour some great champions out of an already top collection of horses.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chairman of the organizing foundation Aat Both continues:\u00a0\u201cWe look back on a successful third edition of the Longines FEI\/WBFSH World Breeding Dressage Championships for Young Horses in Ermelo. Also this year, we have enjoyed excellent dressage talents. The jury awarded several 10s, which indicate the high level we saw in these arenas. The over-all quality was formidable with some spectacular highlights. My compliments to the riders, who presented their young talents in such a way their qualities were expressed in an optimal manner.<\/p>\n
Thanks to our sponsors such as Longines, Province of Gelderland and Anemone Horsetrucks we were able to organize a well-rounded event. We receive positive responses from the riders about the training facilities for their horses. In light of the warm weather, we took additional measures to safeguard the well-being of the participating horses. Through various clinics and classes, we have tried to offer our visitors an exciting program as well as a wide range of food, drinks, shopping and a vibrant atmosphere. We are very proud that the FEI has granted us another year to please all the riders, visitors, exhibitors and officials. We hope to see everyone back in Ermelo next year: 1-4 august 2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/a>Project leader Joris Kemperman also looks back satisfied on the event: \u201cFirst of all, congratulations to all the medal winners! But also to the breeders and owners of these horses. Furthermore, we would like to thank our sponsors, in particular Longines, for their support. We, as the organization, are very satisfied with amongst others a sold-out grand stand on Sunday. Despite the heat, we welcomed 22.000 visitors from all over the world. Following last year\u2019s evaluation, we have rescheduled the qualification for five- and six-year-olds to a singular day again. We were able to organize various exciting side-classes again and the exhibition village was expanded with entertainment for children and a sushi bar. It remains a wonderful championship where 200 members of staff help us all days to let everything run smoothly. A total of 180 horses entered the arenas and no less than 19 studbooks competed in the classes revolving around the world breeding championships.<\/p>\nThe KWPN was the main supplier with 31 horses, followed by Hannover (17) and DWB (16). The gold medals were obtained by Westphalen at the five-year-olds, Hannover at the six-year-olds and KWPN at the seven-year-olds. A thrilling battle for the studbooks, but certainly also for the audience. We would like to welcome you back in Ermelo next year!\u201d<\/p>\n
