2011/2012 Young Professionals Award
British Dressage have received more applicants than there are spaces at the three training days for this year's Young Professionals Award.
The coordinators are now in the process of selecting the 24 applicants who will attend one of the three training days being held during October. Successful applicants will be notified by Wednesday 14 September informing them of which training day they will be attending.
2011/2012 Finalists
Top professionals Paul Hayler, Peter Storr (pictured) and Carl Hester hosted and judged three Young Professional Award Training Days throughout October 2011.
The overall standard of applicants this year was very high. At Carl Hester’s training day it proved just too hard for the co-ordinators and Carl to pick two winners, so they decided that three of the eight would go forward to the final. The final will therefore comprise seven riders rather than six.
Paul Hayler – Wednesday 13 October

Kim Seaby
Peter Storr – Wednesday 26 October
Katie Bailey
