Winner
of the 2001 Euro-Future Cup for Young Riders was the
German Nicole Giesen aboard her chestnut gelding Slow
Fox V. Dominating the entire Euro-Future Cup circuit,
a series of Young Riders competition coinciding with
larger top CDI-competitions throughout Europe, Nicole
Giesen proved that she fully deserved her title of 2001
European Young Rider Dressage Champion. The four qualifying
competitions in Münster/GER, Hickstead/GBR, Wanroij/NED
and St. Nizier/FRA were already enough to indicate that
Nicole Giesen is the best in Europe, but at the finals
in Frankfurt she wielded the axe of power again.
Manfred Luven, owner of breeding station Waldfried
and main sponsor of the Euro-Future Cup, was very pleased
with the 2001 edition of the Euro-Future Cup. "By
organizing such competitions, we want to encourage more
countries to actively participate in the dressage sport,"
Luven explained. "The top of tomorrow has to prove
its potential today and with this Cup, we already get
a clear view of what is in store."
