Whether you’re training or competing with BD Youth you can work your way through our amazing squad system. You can train and compete with your squad at Regional camps and competitions! Riders will enter at D Squad (until the end of the calendar year of your 11th birthday), C Squad (until the end of the calendar year of your 14th birthday) or C+ Squad (entry level for riders joining BD Youth in the year of their 15th birthday) and progress your way through to reach the A Squad. Instead of looking at traditional dressage movements, Youth riders are assessed on the difference you make to your horse and your level of understanding. Every rider has an equal chance to excel!
Do come along to one of our Assessment days where you have a lesson, get assessed and can also ride your squad test if you wish.
