| 2009-10-07: 2009 FEI European Reining Championships: First Italian Young Riders and Juniors ready to compete in Kreuth |  | Kreuth, October 6th 2009 For the first time ever, Young Riders and Juniors will represent Italy in the FEI European Reining Championships which this year will be held in Kreuth, Germany, October 8-11.
The Italian Equestrian Sports Federation (FISE) officially designated Filippo Masi as Team Coach. “I am very honored to have been chosen as Coach for the first ever youth reining teams. The enthusiasm these young riders show is contagious and fills me with joy!”, said Masi. “The criteria with which the team members were finally chosen was that of keeping in mind the results that both the horses and riders obtained in these past years and, of course, the physical condition of the horses which was carefully evaluated by the FN veterinarian, DVM. Daniele Dall’Ora”.
| Representing Italy will be:
Young Riders:
Chiara Bartoletti/Doc Tivio Hancock, Manuel Cortesi/Arc Gold In Player, Guglielmo Fontana/Please Check Me, Martina Roasio/Dumpy Pride, Giovanni Pirovano/Whole Ruby Made
Juniors:
Andrea Iannetta/Little Sugar Speedy, Giovanni Masi/Larksimilian, Luca Menici/Shady Catalyst, Elena Scipioni/Docs Rose Olena, Silvia Panza/Shaken The Light
| The young reiners, who come from various parts of Italy, all met up at the Arcese Quarter Horse facility in Castelnuovo del Garda on Monday evening, where their horses were stabled, and then left for Kreuth along with their Coach and Cristina Serra, IRHA Office Manager. “Considering the fact that school started in the beginning of September, after our last meeting all together at the end of August, the riders carried on working with their trainers at home”, says Filippo. “I am certain that this will be a very positive experience for them and I would like to thank the parents of the riders for being so supportive and, at the end of the day, our main sponsors!”.
Thirteen nations will compete at the 2009 FEI European Reining Championships open to senior, junior and young riders in Kreuth, Germany October 8-11.
