This now means that there is a vacancy for a Rider Training Rep to join the British Dressage Wales committee.  This is a voluntary role and I have listed the terms of reference below.   The successful applicant will also have to attend 3 Rider Training Reps meetings a year held at Stoneleigh.  They are also required to attend Regional Committee Meetings which again take place 3 times a year.  The Rider Training Rep in conjunction with the RDO is  also is involved in senior regional training, yard visits and senior camp.  They are also very much involved in team selection and ideally will be able to attend both the Senior Inter Regional and the Senior Home International competitions with the Welsh Teams.

Terms of Reference - Rider Training Representative.  The Rider Training Representative provides technical input to the Regional Development Officer and to the Regional Committee on senior training issues.  This relates primarily to Regional Training.  Rider Training Representatives will receive policy direction from the Training Committee.  Any queries or questions they have on this policy should be directed to the Training Committee, either through the RDO, Chief Executive or through the relevant representative on the Training Committee. It is for the RDO and the Rider Training Representative working together to implement this policy.  In doing so it is critical that market forces are taken into account and also the activities of other regions.  It is important that on-going evaluation takes place to enable the demands of members in the region to be taken into account when implementing policy.  Training Representatives are recommended by the Regional Committee, approved by the Training Committee and ratified by the Board.
