Saumur 2022

The EHOA has received a very friendly invitation from the Comité Equestre de Saumur as it announces the upcoming Saumur Complet event in France which includes CCI4*-L, CCI3*-S,  CCI2*-L and CCI1* Intro classes. The committee generously informs us that all members of the Event Horse Owner Association will have access to the on-site owners’ area. The invitation extends to both those who have entered horses and those who do not. Why not make a mini break of it?

The event takes place from 28 April to 1st May 2022 at the Hippodrome de Verrie.  The Organisers are able to help you organise your stay in Saumur, with packages and hotel suggestions, as well as restaurant and activity options.  Contact Helka Tervonen Nahvandy competition@saumur.org

Admission to the event is free but for EHOA spectators planning to use the owners’ area it is necessary to register in advance to be accredited. Please e-mail the names of attendees and any questions to: theehoa@gmail.com

Youth Programme Overview

The philosophy on Youth Programmes is to:

  • Develop a programme which encourages members to stay engaged with the sport at the end of it, whether they have experienced Championship success or not
  • Enable independent well-educated riders who take responsibility for their own performances and have a no excuse attitude towards training and competition
  • Continue to facilitate success at senior level with more support offered to those transitioning out of YRs (21-28 years)
  • Win team and individual gold medals at Junior and Young Rider Europeans

The Youth Pathway comprises the BE Regional Youth Programme, that incorporates training for athletes aged 12-21 along with competition at BE90 Open to BE Open Intermediate U21, progressing to Regional Academies, the first performance-focused step and the first selective environment for athletes, and teams comprising the best regional athletes.

International Development Squads select athletes aged between 12-21 qualified for international competition. The European Championship Squads comprise athletes selected to compete at the annual Pony, Junior, and Young Rider European Championships, whilst the British Eventing 4* Academy provides a stepping-stone for athletes transitioning from the British Eventing Youth Pathway into the World Class Pathway. The World Class Podium Potential Pathway identifies young athletes who demonstrate the potential to progress to Podium Potential level in the future.
