The 2015 Young Riders Academy list has been announced. Sven Holmberg (sport manager), Otto Becker, Emile Hendrix and Dirk Demeersman gathered for the final selection meeting and after a difficult evaluation of candidates profiles, attitude, motivation, competition results and riding skills, they announced the list of riders.
For the full program six riders have been appointed: Boy Adrian Van Gelderen (Belgium), Jonathan Gordon (Ireland), Nicole Holmen (Sweden), Irma Karlsson (Sweden), Margeaux Rocuet (France) and George Whitaker (UK). The combination rider-trainer will be announced in the next few days.
Laura Klapake (Germany) has also been selected for the full program; due to her studies in Argentina for the second semester of this year, the panel decided to postpone and secure her training for 2016.
Riders for educational program: Maria Madenova (Russia) and Marcell Marschall (Germany).
Weronika Wilska (Poland), Zuzanna Gowin (Poland), Krzysztof Okla (Poland), Meriel Isok (Estonia) and Amelie Steen Hegre (Norway) will attend the two weeks clinic within 2015 with a professional trainer of their choice.
