This blog provides a unique insight into the BD Youth Academy programme, through the eyes of BD Youth Rider Sophia and her mother Claire!

With restrictions on spectator events continuing we are unable to host an in-person attended Convention this year, but we’re delighted to confirm that the two day training forum will still go ahead over the weekend of 21 – 22 November – and, for the first time ever, you can enjoy it from the comfort of home as it’ll be broadcast online on a pay per view basis via Horse and Country.

The BEF Board has introduced a 14 day moratorium, during which time any horse that returns a positive result for Zilpaterol through testing at an event will not be subject to any regulatory action under the BEF’s anti-doping rules (known as BEFAR).
