WHO IS IT FOR?
This tier aims to develop those Pony, Junior and Young Rider combinations who are aiming for European Championships in either the current or forthcoming years. It is also there to support those combinations from the previous year’s Championship squads who are transitioning out of Juniors into Young Riders and are not currently eligible for Tier 2.
WHAT DOES IT OFFER?
This tier offers up to three training camps throughout the year, which include veterinary support and discipline specific coaching. Athletes are also provided with on-event support, course walks and mentoring at targeted events – as well as benefitting from webinars, which cover topics such as anti-doping, goal setting, PR and social media.
