T
his year the Junior and Young Rider annual meeting was, once again, well attended. We spoke about a range of different things that occurred throughout the year and whether they can be improved, or adjusted to benefit our members. We focused some time on training, and it was felt that, with a lot of help from Rebecca Kinnarney, we have made good steps forward. But we discussed how we can still make further improvements and how to ensure events are as accessible as possible for everyone. We also spoke about the scholarship scheme and how we can support it next year, to allow all the young riders on the scheme to get the best out of the opportunities provided. We also elected a new committee and as a whole we believe that there are some positive changes we can make to further support our Junior and Young Rider members in the 2019 season. Watch this space for news and events…! So, who is on the Committee? Let’s have a look…
