The fifteen riders which have qualified for the 2016 Piaff Forderpreis, the German Under 15 Grand Prix show circuit, are known. Twenty-seven combinations gathered in Warendorf, Germany, on 23 – 24 January 2016 for a training seminar, followed by a Grand Prix competition test. The fifteen highest scoring riders in the test qualified to compete on the 2016 Piaff Forderpreis circuit this spring and summer.

“The participation was again very good and it made us happy to see many new faces,” said German Under 25 trainer Jurgen Koschel. “It needs to be that way as at the end of last year many riders were finished with Under 25.”

All 27 combinations first rode under supervision of coaches Monica Theodorescu and Jurgen Koschel and then a training’s test took place. Each ride was filmed and got commented on by Monica Theodorescu, which the riders could take with them as home work.
