A lot! Please read on!
Every person who picks up a pair of reins has taken their first step along the equestrian Pathway . This Pathway details the progression of a rider from their very first experience all the way to the Olympic podium. Each rider decides how far along the pathway they'll travel, but the journey has been mapped out to ensure safe and successful learning.
One of the components of the Pathway is the Long Term Equestrian Development program.
