Lausanne (SUI), 15 JULY 2012 – Dana van Lierop was the show-stopper as The Netherlands scooped all gold in the Junior division, while Denmark’s Cathrine Dufour recorded a Danish double in the Young Riders at the FEI European Dressage Championships for Young Riders and Juniors 2012 which drew to a close in Berne, Switzerland today.
Germany, so dominant when claiming five of the six titles on offer in 2011, took just a single title this time around when topping the Young Rider Teams.
The Championships were staged at The National Horse Centre of Switzerland, a green oasis in the heart of Berne with stabling for over 200 horses, outdoor and indoor arenas, and facilities for a wide range of equestrian activities including Driving, Jumping and Eventing. The Centre previously played host to this same fixture 18 years ago.
