Best Juniors in Europe. Passion. Competition. Emotions.

Strzegom, 14.08.2012 – The best Juniors of Europe will compete for medals in the most comprehensive equestrian event in September. The European Junior Championship is the most important horse riding event on the Continent for the age group 14-18 years.  The right to organise the contest by the LKS Stragona Strzegom club has been granted by the International Federation for Equestrian Sports.

The Championships will take place at the 14 Pułk Ułanów Jazłowieckich Hippodrome in Morawa over Strzegom from 6th to 9th of September. During four days, young contestants will compete in three events: beautiful and full of harmony dressage test, cross-country requiring endurance and courage, finally show jumping testing precision and fitness. The European Champion award gathers 70 competitors representing 15 nationalities. Since Poland is the host of the event, the number of contestants fielded by the country may be doubled, that is as many as 12 contestants.

Despite young age, contestants have to show a substantial amount of experience within all aspects of horsemanship, as well as an excellent knowledge of horse abilities. The challenge traced by spectators evokes great emotions. It is a grueling and unpredictable event.

The president of the Republic of Poland, Mr Bronisław Komorowski, has become the Honorary Patronage of the event.
