Jon Pedersen, New Danish Team Trainer
January 12, 2006
 Danish Olympic dressage rider Jon Pedersen has been
appointed the new team trainer for the Danish junior
and young riders. Pedersen signed the contract with
the
Danish
Equestrian Federation last week and will take up this
position on February 1, 2006.
"Jon is a very competent rider
and trainer. He participated in the biggest competitions
and has experience that
can help the nervous young riders. We're all very
glad that Jon has accepted this position," Kim Berner
of
the Danish Equestrian Federation said.
Jon Pedersen, who is the head rider and trainer at
Stable Dalumgaard in Denmark, stated that Danish Grand
Prix team train Rudolf Zeilinger convinced him to take
the
job.
Pedersen has set ambitious goals he wants to achieve
as team trainer. "I want to work at bringing the young
riders together and making them fight as a team. Only
as a team do we have the best chance. Riders need to
be
tolerant
for each other, because there will be room for everyone,"
Pedersen said.
Pedersen, who won team bronze at the European Championships
and who competed at the Olympic Games in Sydney and
Athens aboard Esprit de Valdemar, is succeeding Bjarne
Nielsen as team trainer.
