The finals of the Young Rider classes will take place in the Championship Arena on Saturday 30th July with the top four placed athlete/horse combinations also qualifying for the respective finals during Millstreet International Horse Show CSI3* (9th – 14th August). Prizes will also be on offer for the highest placed Junior in each final.

Thomas Duggan (Millstreet 2016 Director) said,

We are delighted to afford Young Riders the opportunity to compete at Millstreet during the FEI European Jumping Championships and they will no doubt benefit from the experience. These classes also provide a unique opportunity to Irish breeders and producers to showcase their horses to a guaranteed audience of potential buyers from Europe and further afield.’
