Regional training
Here in Wales we host loads of training sessions and social activities throughout the year that you can get involved with! Have lessons with national and local coaches, meet fellow young riders with a passion for dressage and have great fun progressing towards your training goals. Sessions and camps run during the school holidays and over weekends and include everything from test riding and training to unmounted workshops, DVD sessions and social activities.
BD Youth Squads
When you start your BD Youth training journey within your region, you can attend assessment days to be allocated to a BD Youth Regional Squad. Being squadded opens up a whole bunch of opportunities for team competition, including the Home International, BD Youth U25s Championships and Inter Regionals.
If you're ready to be squadded then you can book onto an assessment day within the region:
Youth Ambassadors
We have 2 BD Youth Ambassadors in the region, Briony Cutler and Erin Jones, through our Youth Ambassador Scheme. Briony and Erin inspire great ideas for our youth activities.
