Having targets to aim towards can be a great motivator for up-and-coming talent and there are plenty of goals for younger riders in our sport to aspire to. From representing your local region to competing against the very best in Europe, British Eventing can help fulfil your potential.
REGIONAL YOUTH CHAMPIONSHIPS
REGIONAL YOUTH CHAMPIONSHIPS
Regional Youth championships give younger riders the chance to gain experience of competing at a prestigious championship and the honour of representing their local region. Classes start from BE80 and run up to Novice (which is contested at CCI2*-L) with team and individual titles awarded.
The championships are split over two venues, designed to give two unique championship experiences and to help set progressive goals for riders to work towards and achieve.
