Youth Award
FEIF Youth Country of the Year 2024
After struggling to connect with the next generation of young riders, this country came up with the excellent idea of a new form of academy.
„If the young riders don‘t attend the programmes we invite them to, we will bring the programmes to them – virtually on platforms they use every day”
Starting off with a number of theory lectures, they also used a virtual jump into the year 2025 contest which was a huge success. They are now offering dressage tests which can be ridden and filmed and then sent in for evaluation.
The FEIF youth department, considered this idea very innovative and in the spirit of our times.
The award Youth Country of the Year 2024 and winner of an extra seat at the FEIF Youth Camp is Germany.
