High Performance Young Rider Eventing Team Manager Sue Shortt said:
“I am delighted to announce my squad for the upcoming Young Rider European Championships in Segersjö, Sweden. Most of these riders are veterans of several Pony and Junior European Championships, and a Children on Horses show jumping Gold medallist. Eric Winter, cross country course designer at Badminton, has designed the track for the Europeans. Therefore I’ve selected a squad of riders that have shown in training and competition, that they have the skills and experience to cope with a big, technical cross country course. It has been a difficult 18 months for everyone and I would like to thank Eventing Ireland and the event organisers for enabling the High Performance riders to compete during this period.”
