The cross-country trial introduced a considerable reshuffling of the leaderboard at the European Young Riders and Juniors Eventing Championships held in Strzegom.
The French broke the dominance of the British and after successful cross-country rounds become the new leaders in the young rider category. France is represented by: Lucas Brun and Anapurna De Soulac, Valentin Quittet Eslan and Casanova D’ems, and riders who went clear: Alizee Bourgue and Cesar Des Hauts Crets, and Lisa Gualtieri with A D’aunis, who also takes the lead in the individual classification – 25.1.
The leader after dressage, British Jasmine Underwood riding Indian Girl G, crossed the finish line with a seven-second overtime, which dropped her to second place – 26.4. Her compatriot Isabelle Cook with Mexican Law jumped up into third place after a clear run – 27.5.
In the team standings, second place belongs to Germans: Isabel Kristin Dalecki and Caruso Jh, Mathies Rüder and Bon Ton, Emely Kurbel and Entertain You, and the best in the team, Zoe Deusing and Alemania – 90.2. The Brits sit in third: Darcy Zander and My Eastwood Brightside, Isabelle Cook and Mexican Law, and Jasmine Underwood with Indian Girl G – 92.5.
After the cross-country, the home nation of Poland is currently in seventh place – 218.8. The best result in the team belongs to Weronika Król with Chinuk R – 35.0. Clear on the fences, although late by nine seconds, she made her advance from 24th place after dressage to 16th. Zuzanna Borkowska with Gracja, who were the highest ranked of the team after the first trial, were less lucky. Adding 75 penalty points for mistakes on obstacles and exceeding the time allowed, she ranks 39th – 105.9.
In the junior category, the lead in the competition belongs to the Irish – 85.7: Matthew Love and DSL Allegra, as well as three riders with clear XC rounds: Oleana Cowan and RCA Royal Mist, Alex Connors and Ols King Aragon, and the best in the team and first in the individual classification – Tom Nestor and Cooley Diamond Dancer – 25.5. The same score belongs to France’s Rachel Weiler with Riviero – 25.5, and third is Germany’s Ella Krueger with Koenigsblauer – 27.3.
The Germans are moving up to second place: Mathis Huisinga and Carlotta, Pita Schmid and Favorita V, Matti Garlichs and Ludwig 282, and Hannah Busch and Crystal-Annabell – 91.1.
Third place belongs to the British, whose entire team, Coco Lanni and Porsche, Martha Hall and Kbis Starburst, Araminta Spencer-Churchill and Neds Legacy, and Pippa Royle and My Dream H, went clear and brought their dressage score to the finish line – 95.2.
The Polish team lies in fourth with 106,4. Karolina Miś with Go Jack went double clear and went up to 11th with 31,6.
On Sunday, showjumping trials will be held to determine the new medalists of the FEI Eventing European Championships for Young Riders and Juniors.
