1999
World Championships for Young Dressage Horses
Arnhem, The Netherlands
1 - 4 July, 1999
 Held
during the European Championships in Arnhem, The Netherlands
July 1-4 were the Young Horse World Championships for
5 and 6 year olds. Open to horses who are members of
The World Breed Federation, several countries sent their
top youngsters to participate.
Each
division did two tests, in front of a panel of judges.
At the end of each ride, one judge, Mr. Christophe Hess
for the 5 year olds, and Mr. Volker Moritz for the 6
year olds, would comment for the panel on the horse,
and give a score from 1-10. This made the class very
interesting for the spectators and helpful to the riders
as well.
The
top 15 horses rode in the Final, held Sunday in the
main arena before the Grand Prix Freestyle. This class
was judged on a percentage basis, and the three scores
tallied for the final result. The next following pages
feature some of the top horses of the competition, with
text written by
Junior Riders, and Phelps Photos (click on the arrow
to start the tour).
We
also video taped several of the best horses in each
division, and the Final in it's entirety. Photos of
every horse in the competition were taken. Anyone interested
