Benjamin Werndl Leads Ranking in FEI Waldfried Euro
Future Cup
 German
based Benjamin Werndl is leading the ranking of the
FEI Waldfried Euro Future Cup ahead of Jessica Werndl
and Thamar Zweistra at the end of the outdoor season.
After five qualifying shows of the FEI Waldfried Euro
Future Cup a German-Dutch single combat can be seen
to emerge. In the last two qualifiers of the outdoor
season dominated the Werndl sister and brother of the
Bavarian city of Aubenhausen (GER). While the reigning
Double European Champion Juniors, Jessica Werndl, has
won all three classes of the FEI Waldfried Euro Future
Cup including the Prix St. Georges Kür to music at CDIJYR
Neubeeren (GER), the 17-year-old rider became third
in all three tests at CDI/CDIJYR Brno (CZE) and victory
in the for the rankings counting kür was taken by her
two years older brother Benjamin. The current European
Team Champion Young Riders won ahead of the Dutch rider
Thamara Zweistra, who had been already runner-up in
the kür of CDIJYR Saumur (FRA).
With his victory at Brno and his second place at Neubeeren
Benjamin Werndl leads the rankings of the FEI Waldfried
Euro Future Cup with 37 points ahead of his sister Jessica
(35). Third place (34) is covered by Thamar Zweistra
ahead of her countryman Tommie Visser (30). In the places
five (28) and six (22) follow the two British riders
Jodie Lister and Maria Eilberg. After the cancellation
of the show at Mesikon (SUI) it will have ahead of the
final to be held during the International Frankfurt
Horse Show on December 12 - 14, 2003, still the indoor
qualifier at Wanroij (NED) on November 19 - 23, 2003.
The FEI Waldfried Euro Future Cup has become a firm
figure in the international dressage sport for Young
Riders and Juniors and receives Europe-wide enormous
reception. In the five shows in 2003, so far, riders
from 15 nations were able to gain valuable points for
the rankings and therefore for a qualification for the
final. Only the twelve riders receive points for the
rankings, which have been qualified through two preliminary
classes for the kür to music on Prix St. Georges level.
In 2003 already more than hundred riders have participated
in the FEI Waldfried Euro Future Cup.
Of the Western European countries seven riders can
qualify for the final, of the former Eastern European
countries two riders. Additionally up to three riders
can participate per wildcard in the final to be held
at Frankfurt on December 12 - 14, 2003, plus one rider
of the U.S.A. and one rider of Canada. This makes the
Euro Cup for the first time to a World Cup. Manfred
Louven, who is with his Waldfried Dressage Stables at
Frankfurt am Main (GER) the title sponsor since 2000,
is very satisfied with the development of the series,
"With our commitment we want to help that more nations
become interested in top level dressage sport and we
want to offer the 16- to 21-year-old dressage riders
the possibility to compete across national borders in
top-level horse shows."
