FEI Youth Nations Cup, Zuidwolde, Netherlands


A really enjoyable trip away with Team Lanni and Koning Sport Horses working together at the Youth Nations Cup.

Bermudez BDA (Billy) and Sienna Lanni tackled these very strong and technical courses with great maturity. It was safe to say that there were very few clears each day across all the levels and sometimes sadly no clears at all 🤷‍♀️ Sienna and Billy posted a fabulous clear in the Nations Cup Team class which was a huge morale boost.

Billy pulled out all the stops to do well for Sienna and they both improved each day. There was no easing into this series, it was 1m30 from day one, and one distance misjudged affected the rest of the course and the course builder took no prisoners! 

The friendliness of everyone, venue, food and company made this a really enjoyable trip for Jill, and sharing in other families joy as their children hit the big time in some classes was lovely.

We are very grateful to Clare Whitaker, our Team Chef d'Equipe for her work and British Showjumping for choosing Bermudez BDA and Sienna for the Youth Team 🙌
