It’s nearly time… as eight British combinations gear up for the FEI Dressage European Championships for Young Riders and Under 25s in Pilisjászfalu, Hungary (6 – 12 July 2026), 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 8 July at Pilisjászfalu, Hungary, where Europe’s finest Young Rider and U25 combinations will compete for team and individual championship honours.
The Young rider team, comprised of Mette Dahl, Demi Howard-Cartwright, Ruby Hughes and Morgan Haerr, will be looking to defend last year's bronze medal that was won in Kronberg, Germany. You can read more about each of the riders in our 'Meet The Team' story, which can be found here.
The U25 team is looking very similar to last year. Comprising of three out of four of last year's team members Harrison Ashton, Annabella Pidgley and Lilah Gibbs have been joined by first-time European Championships contender Georgina Nicholls.
