YRA Family

An equestrian program for European talented show jumpers.

The equestrian world is constantly evolving, encompassing aspects ranging from sponsorship and media to technology, horse welfare, and anti-doping.

To develop and foster young talented show jumpers who can excel in value and competitiveness, we must prioritize athlete education.

Training young riders should not only be a starting point early in their careers but also a continuous process throughout their professional journey.

The Young Riders Academy was created with the goal of producing future ambassadors for the sport who are knowledgeable, excellent, and can serve as role models for others.

We view the Young Riders Academy as a family, with members who are always welcome, even after they have completed the program. Our platform is open to all Young Riders Academy alumni who have continued in the sport and stayed in contact with the Academy founders.

We aim to assist them in diverse ways and provide support, inspiration, and companionship among all YRA colleagues.

We invite members of the YRA family to clinics and competitions and will do everything possible to maintain a positive spirit. Staying in touch with the YRA family is essential to keep us informed about their plans and to assist new entries in the Academy.
