WEDNESDAY, 05.08

The best young horses in the world are currently competing in Verden (Germany). This is one of the most important international events to discover future Dressage stars. Vying for the 2026 World Championship titles are 146 horses, which represent twenty-two different stud books, the classes for 5, 6, and 7-year olds.  

Once the veterinarian inspected the 6-year-old horses yesterday afternoon, the PRE Team was the first to enter the arena. There are three pairs in this category: Lisonjero de Vida, Secretario JU IV and Utopia KP. 

Diego Gonzalez, riding Lisonjero de Vida, owned by Yeguada Gran Vida and bred by Villanueva Dacasa, was the first member of the Spanish team to inaugurate the competition. This pair earned a score of 75.800% thanks to an outstanding walk that received 7.8, as well as for submission and their future potential.

Second on the PRE Team to premier in the 6-year-old category was Utopia KP, owned by Yeguada La Angostura and ridden by Francisco Gil. The pair completed a solid test, with an impressive canter (7.6), in addition to their walk and submission, thus earning them a final score of 73.200%.

Wrapping up the Team PRE’s participation in the 6-year-old category on the first day was Secretario JU IV, owned by Jesus Ubeda Roncero and ridden by Alejandro Sanchez del Barco. The pair debuted in the main Verden arena with a very regular performance; their trot (8.1) was outstanding, as well as their future potential and submission. With a final score of 75.800%, the PRE Team concluded their participation on this first competition for 6-year-old horses.

The veterinarian inspection for 5-year-olds will be at 4:00 in the afternoon.
