As eight British combinations gear up for the FEI Dressage European Championships for Young Riders and Under 25s in Kronberg, Germany (8–13 July 2025), we wish our teams the best of luck and turn our attention to following the action live. 
Five days of top-level youth dressage get underway on Wednesday 9 July at the iconic venue of Schafhof Connects in Kronberg, where Europe’s finest Young Rider and U25 combinations will compete for team and individual championship honours.
The British Young Rider team features Teghan Cantrell-Bennett with Christine Cantrell’s Woodlander Donna Summer, Mette Dahl with Fiona Bigwood’s Fidelio Van Het Bloemenhof, India Durman-Mills with Verity Saul’s Escade and Isobel Lickley with Rob and Nicola Lickley’s Katniss. The British U25 team is made up of Harrison Ashton with his own and Henri Rouste’s Million Dreams, Lilah Gibbs with her own Dude III, Charlotte Lutener with her own Full Fusion BS, and Annabella Pidgley with Sarah Pidgley’s Vamos Amigos. You can find more details via our Team Selection announcement.
Wednesday sees the competition set in motion with part one of the Young Rider Team medal competition from 09:00 local time (08:00 BST), followed by part one of the U25 Team medal competition, featuring the FEI Intermediate II test, from 15:00 (14:00 BST). Part two of the team competition continues on Thursday, when the 2025 FEI Dressage Young Rider and U25 European team honours will be decided.
The individual competition follows on Friday, starting at 09:00 local time (08:00 BST) for U25s and at 14:00 (13:00 BST) for Young Riders. The second half of the individual contest follows on Saturday, with another set of FEI medals awarded immediately after the competition concludes for each category.
Rounding off what promises to be an inspiring showcase of up-and-coming young talent, Sunday’s much-anticipated Freestyle finals will begin at 08:00 (07:00 BST) and feature the top 18 riders from the individual competition, following the final horse inspection.
