This August, Europe's best young stars will compete for eventing European Championship medals. The European Championships for Young Riders and Juniors in the Eventing discipline will be held from 22 to 25 August at the hippodrome in Morawa near Strzegom. 

The competition will begin on Tuesday, 20 August, with an opening ceremony attended by all qualified teams. On Thursday and Friday, the athletes will present themselves in the dressage test, on Saturday they will compete in cross-country and on Sunday it is time for show jumping. 

The riders will compete for the titles of European champions in two categories: juniors - from 14 to 18 years of age, and young riders - from 16 to 21 years.  

“Despite their young age, the athletes will have to demonstrate great experience in all aspects of horsemanship, as well as excellent knowledge of their horses' capabilities. Their rivalry will be a true showcase of this demanding and spectacular sport," says Marcin Konarski, organiser of the event. 

Admission to the competition is free.
