Five
years ago, in 1995, it happened and this year they did
it again: Holland defeated Germany in the dressage team
competition at the European Young Riders Championships.
Hosted by Hartpury College in Hartpury, England, the
EYRC took place from 23rd to 27th August 2000. Even
though Holland took team gold and Germany had to be
content with a not-so-shiny silver, the individual gold
was once again for a German rider. Christine von Oldershausen,
living in Schenefeld (GER), received her second, consecutive
gold medal on her Holsteiner mare Amica Farina. German
Chef d'Equipe Holger Schmezer was glad, but not euphoric.
"I am content with the results of this European Championship
but we haven't reached our actual goal," Schmezer told
Thomas Hartwig, press agent for the German Equestrian
Federation.
