We are thrilled to announce that Jess Falle (Lower Sixth) has been selected for the British Eventing Foundation Skills Academy (BEFSA), which is funded by Sport England.

The programme is designed to identify, support and develop riders who are demonstrating the potential to progress in eventing with the aim of feeding them into the British Equestrian Federation’s (BEF) World Class programme.

Selection to the 12-month training programme is extremely competitive, with only 12 riders and four reserves being selected.

The programme includes training and expert advice across two, two-day camps. Along with coaching, Jess will gain access to industry specialists from the areas of farriery, saddlery, veterinary, biomechanics, equine nutrition, sport psychology and strength and conditioning.
