British Combinations confirmed for the Le Lion d’Angers Young Horse Championships 2022

The British Eventing Senior Selectors have confirmed the combinations that will compete at the 2022 Le Lion d’Angers Young Horse Championships in France from 19-23 October.

Great Britain are permitted to send fifteen combinations to the Championships – three to contest the 6-year-old Championship and twelve to contest the 7-year-old Championship. Riders wishing to take part were invited to apply and more than 40 applications we received. Those that have not made the selection will be placed on the waitlist in order of reserve. We are especially pleased to see so many British-bred Young Horses within this year’s applications.

The International Secretary will be in contact with further entry information for those selected. It is to be noted that selection is subject to achieving full Le Lion specific MERs.

If any rider decides that they do not wish to go, please inform the International Secretary as soon as possible.
