The first FEI/PSI World Jumping and Dressage Challenge Finals were a tremendous success. Riders who would never have ever dreamed of competing in Europe once in their lifetime were given this opportunity in Hagen. With the support of PSI, the FEI World Challenge has received a new impulsion. The Finals have shown that our developing NFs have riders with extremely high potential. Sixteen riders in Jumping and 9 in Dressage rode on high quality horses borrowed from Messrs. Schockemöhle and Kasselmann. The riders had to qualify for the Finals through qualification competitions. In Jumping, riders from ECU, NZL, COL, DOM, GRE, PUR, CHI and UAE competed in two qualifying competitions and a semi-final. A Consolation Competition for those who did not qualify for the semi-final was organised with riders from GRE, NZL, RSA and COL. The Final with change of horses included 4 riders from Latin America, i.e. ECU, PUR, COL and CHI. In Dressage, riders from AUS, ZIM, BRA, COL, CZE, BOL, HUN, BAR and IND took part in two qualifiers. The Final, with change of horses, saw the participation of riders from three different continents, i.e. Australia, South America and Africa. The change of horses formula in the Dressage Final was most interesting and maintained the suspense until the end. Beside the competitions, a full programme was organised to entertain the riders and their families during their stay in Hagen. All participants had the opportunity to go sightseeing, to visit Paul Schockemöhles stable, to watch jumping and dressage presentations as well as training demonstrations, etc. The horses were carefully chosen and good trainers assisted each rider all along the week. The final results were: JUMPING 1.Rodrigo Bermeo Andrade (ECU)jump off 0 34.18 2.Israel Lopez (PUR)jump off 0 38.74 3.Camilo Cristancho Mantilla (COL) jump off 4 33.88 DRESSAGE: 1.Martine Lambert (ZIM) 524 531 508 1563 2.

For the number of Endurance rides organised, the figures would even be higher if, in the first part of 2001, Europe had not seen the cancellations of quite a few due to the Foot and Mouth disease.
