The highly anticipated Youth CSI Tour is just around the corner, offering two weeks of top-tier competition across two renowned equestrian venues: Peelbergen Equestrian Centre and Sentower Park. This unique event, scheduled for November 8-10 at Peelbergen (Netherlands) and November 14-17 at Sentower Park (Belgium), promises not only world-class sport but also exceptional opportunities for young athletes to shine.
Seamless Collaboration Between Peelbergen & SenTower Park
One of the key features of this year’s tour is the close collaboration between Peelbergen and SenTower Park. To accommodate young riders juggling school commitments, the tour kicks off on Thursday, November 8th, allowing them to participate without missing too many classes. Riders and their families can expect a seamless transition between the two locations, thanks to free stabling at Peelbergen from Sunday until Tuesday, November 12th, helping young participants balance school, sport, and travel.
