Conclusion

The horses are selected or invited based on their quality and

are ridden by professional riders.

A large number of finalist in the WBCYH enters in the FEI

rankings and most of them make a successful career.

The WBCYH event is a good phase in the development of the

professional career of the young show jumper.

The confusion regarding modified

original horse names!

STOP !

o By respect of the breeders and the Studbook of origine;

o The problems to retrace horses worldwide .

Why do 4 year old horses not compete at the WBCYH?

o Breeders are in favor, they see the opportunity to sell their

products at a younger age.

o Is this to much for a horse growing up?
