Kronenberg, 28.9.2026
From competition to development. On 28 September, the six riders who secured a place in the Top 6 Prestige Youth Cup returned to Peelbergen for a very special opportunity: an exclusive clinic with Henrik von Eckermann.
Mees Boeren, Anne Willemssen, Lyns Overstijns, Janske van den Braken, Phylรจne Hendriks and Ize Herwers earned their place in the clinic during the first Prestige Youth Cup held in Peelbergen back in August. This time, however, the focus was on learning, developing and gaining new insights from one of the living legends of our sport.
More than a competition
The first Prestige Youth Cup took place during the PRO Tour powered by Prestige from 6-8 August. From the beginning, the idea behind the competition was to offer young riders more than another opportunity to enter the ring.
Mees Boeren took the win and received a Prestige saddle, while the Top 6 earned the opportunity to return to Peelbergen for an exclusive clinic with Henrik von Eckermann.
For Prestige, this next step reflects exactly what the Youth Cup is all about:
โThe Prestige Youth Cup was created to give young riders more than the opportunity to compete. It is about creating experiences that can inspire them, help them grow and bring them closer to the highest level of our sport. Having Henrik von Eckermann share his experience with the six riders selected for the clinic makes this opportunity truly special, and we are proud to support the next generation of equestrian talent.โ
Supporting the next generation
The clinic brought the first edition of the Prestige Youth Cup full circle.
Together with Prestige, we are proud to create opportunities that go beyond the competition arena and contribute to the growth of the next generation of equestrian talent.
A day to remember at Peelbergen, and an experience Mees, Anne, Lyns, Janske, Phylรจne and Ize to take with them into their future.
