USHJA EMERGING ATHLETES PROGRAM
In March 2008, the USHJA Board of Directors developed the Emerging Athletes Program as a means to identify and support talented young rider’s competing at the grassroots level of competition in our sport.
The mission of the Emerging Athletes Program is to develop and implement a system of identifying and nurturing talented young riders, by providing them with the support and assistance necessary to facilitate the opportunity to reach their full potential by creating a national program as a pipeline to international competition.
The Emerging Athletes Program will provide young riders in our sport with the opportunity to learn from our country’s top professional riders and trainers. The training sessions will evaluate the rider’s horsemanship, knowledge and riding ability.
Following each Level I Training Session, the clinician will evaluate the riders and create a ranking list to determine which riders will be invited to participate in the Regional Level II Training Session. After the Regional Level II Training Session, a select group of riders will be invited to participate in the National Training Session. The National Training Session will include extensive instruction with riding sessions, nutritionists, veterinarians, blacksmiths and sport psychologists. The National Training Session will culminate in a Nations Cup type competition for the riders. The top two individuals selected from the National Training Session will be the recipients of a grant for one month of advanced training.
Eligibility
