Talented junior riders at the youth competition

News at psvwe:

Great cheering and an impressive performance: at this year's youth competition at the Sosath farm in Lemwerder, the riders from Emsland were unbeatable.

A celebration for young riders

This competition has been a fixture in the Weser-Ems Equestrian Association's calendar for over 40 years. It is traditionally held alternately in the district associations of Oldenburg, Osnabrück, Emsland and East Frisia. This year, the Oldenburg Equestrian Association was responsible for organising the event.

With the Sosath farm and the Sosath family, it would have been difficult to find a better venue. Heike Jahncke and Michael George warmly thanked the family on behalf of the Oldenburg Equestrian Association and the PSVWE for their enormous commitment and hospitality, which provided the perfect setting for this event.

Emsland cleans up

From a sporting point of view, Emsland was the measure of all things. The riders from the district association excelled across the board, winning both the team and individual competitions in the pony and horse categories.

Pia Roetmann, district youth representative for Emsland and deputy state youth representative, was particularly proud of the team's cohesive performance and the strong nerves of her protégés.

A well-coordinated team behind the scenes

An event of this size stands or falls on its organisation. The team from the Oldenburg Equestrian Association, led by Karina Schillomeit and Anna Frerichs, ensured that everything ran smoothly. They were actively supported by Jule Feldhaus and Laura Siemer from the PSVWE office.
