From September 28th to October 1st, the first edition of the WBFSH Studbook Jumping Global Champions Trophy will take place in Valkenswaard. AES has announced which combinations will be representing them in the studbook competition from September 28th to October 1st in Valkenswaard, hosted by Jan Tops. Robbert Ehrens is the logical team leader, serving as a breeding advisor and studbook inspector. He primarily had to select English combinations.
"As AES, we are experiencing significant growth in several countries, and in the coming years, the representation from countries other than the UK will improve. However, for now, I had to mainly choose from English combinations," says Ehrens. "The preparation time was very short, and most owners capable of competing at this level have already made their plans. For example, the World Championships in Lanaken are a primary goal, or another international competition. Lanaken takes place a week earlier, and many people find it too demanding to combine with their young horses."
"I am confident that once this studbook competition in Valkenswaard has taken place, there will be more enthusiasm. But for now, I mainly scouted in England for selection, with fantastic assistance from Lucy Simpson of AES in England."
