Following competition at both the German National Championships at Luhmühlen as well as CHIO Aachen this month, Germany has named a long list of athletes from which the federation will select its eventual team for the FEI European Eventing Championships. This cycle’s Championships will be held in France at Haras du Pin, August 9-13.
Definite entries are due on July 24. Many nations will wait to name their teams until after the next leg of the FEI Nations Cup at Haras de Jardy (FRA), July 13-16.
The German long list has been divided into three Blocks, ranging from multi-medalists to top young riders who are ready to have a shot at the big leagues.
