The YPP consisted of a mixture of Show Jumpers, Eventers and Dressage riders. Having this diversity within the
group allowed us to all exchange experiences, and we came to realisation that, although we came from different disciplines, overall we were developing within the same industry and shared so much in common.
Overall the programme gave us access to specialists within the industry, we learned so much, gained vital information and had some fantastic experiences.
On our last workshop we visited the Betcholshimer's yard... it was completely stunning and such a privilege to have an insight into their day to day workings.
We then returned to Hartpury college and spent the afternoon reflecting on our experiences, making goals and plans moving forward in our careers.
The Dressage riders had another fantastic opportunity on offer, we had the chance to win the Young Professionals Award, which is a bursary kindly sponsored by Core Context Consulting.
We had to create a personal statement, five year plan and a business plan. Followed by a 10-15 presentation on "Where we see Dressage as a sport going in the next 10 years"
It was great to further explore where our industry was heading in the future and I really enjoyed the process.
I am very pleased announce, I was lucky enough to receive the Award, and now have the support to pursue some exciting career developments...so watch this space!
I am extremely grateful to British Dressage and Core Context Consulting for this opportunity!
