Win an exclusive place to train with an Olympic Eventing team!

How much could you and your horse progress brushing shoulders with elite athletes training for 2012? If you have ambitions to event at top level, but your career needs a kick-start, then look no further!

Scotts of Thrapston, in partnership with Carlton Horse Trials, will give two lucky riders an exclusive place on their Rider Development Programme next year, offering extensive training and even the chance to train with the Brazilian 2012 Eventing team.

Scotts of Thrapston has continuously supported local amateur event riders and is delighted to be running the programme with Carlton for a third year.

The programme opens doors to riders who are keen to better themselves and their horses, and provides high quality training enabling them to enjoy the sport safely. From March 2012, the chosen two riders will work towards competing in their first affiliated event at Carlton Horse Trials in July.

The programme will educate the riders on all aspects of competition, training alongside the Brazilian 2012 Eventing team, with BE Accredited Trainers Nick Turner and Ann Bostock. This will include dressage, show jumping and cross country training at Carlton Cross Country Course, as well as working on their focus and mental strength with a sports psychology workshop, held by Charlie Unwin.
