British Showjumping, in conjunction with Sport England, is delighted to announce the riders who have been accepted onto the 2023/2024 Gold Development Programme.

The Programme, which will run annually and is funded by Sport England, intends to support riders aiming to establish themselves at the 1.40m-1.50m level; as well as supporting riders that are aiming to be selected for World Class Performance Pathway Programme.
