Riders Selected for ‘2019 Step up to Gold’ Programme
Thursday 15 November 2018
British Showjumping, in conjunction with Sport England, are delighted to announce the next cohort of riders selected on to the ‘Step Up to Gold’ Programme which commences in 2019.
Eight riders have now been selected to come forward on to the programme following on from the four training and selection days held last month. This year saw the performance criteria level increased so it is aligned with the new World Class Performance Pathway.
The training programme will focus on developing riders in order for them to be able to make the transition into competing or establishing themselves at 1.40m+. British Showjumping.
Based on a similar structure to this year, there will be three National Training days held during the course of the programme. Along with competing at International Shows both abroad and in the UK with support from the lead coach Matt Lanni and their home based coaches.
The selected riders are as follows:
Abbie Taylor
Amanda Lysaght
Beth Vernon
Dani Stapleton
Danielle Farnsworth
Jessica Blatchford
Libby Newman
Olivia Howe
If you are interested in being involved with this training programme, the applications for the forth cohort of this programme will open around August 2019.
