WELCOME TO YOUTH EVENTING
British Eventing's Youth offer includes access to age-specific training, education, and competition opportunities. Depending on your ability and experience, one or both of our competition and training programmes could help you fulfil your potential in the sport. Rider and horse welfare is at the forefront of our programmes. Our aim is to nurture and develop potential, to encourage riders to stay engaged within the sport and to enable independent, well-educated riders who take ownership of their learning and responsibility for their own competition performances.
The BE Regional Youth Programme incorporates training for riders aged 12 - 21 along with the competition and training at BE80, BE90, BE100 and Novice level for under 18 riders who are aiming for the BE Regional Youth Championships. It also offers training and support for those riders wishing to compete in OIU21 competitions.
BE Youth Performance Programme offers a calendar of competition opportunities for those riders aged 12-21 wishing to compete internationally. Youth Performance also incorporates a series of observation trials and training opportunities for combinations wishing to be considered for Pony, Junior, and Young Rider European Championship selection, alongside other international competition experiences across the season.

REGIONAL YOUTH
ABOUT REGIONAL
The BE Regional Youth programme delivers a progressive pathway that is fun and fulfilling for all. It enables members to train locally with other youth riders, develop their skills by competing in age restricted classes and to track their progress through Regional Leagues.
The programme also provides the opportunity for members to join together with other younger riders to have the honour of representing their region at the BE Regional Youth Championships - held each year at Chillington Hall in Staffordshire (BE80 and BE90 Open) or Bishop Burton in East Yorkshire (BE100 Open and CCI2*-L).
Friends made through this programme can last a lifetime.
