Is this different to the scheme that is for spotting talented horses, rather than partnerships, or does it do both (actually I think what I am thinking of is for future Olympic horses??)
No more moaning about only the rich get these things and no more wanting to sell him because you have one bad show.
Go out and do your best and enjoy being there, you may have to sleep with someone to get it ,oh, no thats the men.The gossip you hear and rumours .Well!
You are very fortunate, enjoy and appreciate it.
GOOD LUCK
Well done gorgeous, that si great news!!!!!! I am so pleased for you and Archie, I told you it is all worth it, the good times seem to make you forget the bad! I am so pleased for you and I guess the gorgeous young man will be staying with you for a bit longer?!?!
Its based on spotting horses who have the potential to represent the country at the highest level (ie GP) - so you get yard visits, free vet treatment, free physio, and training. Depending on what level you get on it at as to how much you get of each (if you see what i mean!) Its for the combination aswell (ie me too!) but the emphasis is on the horse more for the Equine Pathway than it is with the WCS and WCP squads.
How many horses are accepted onto it then in a year?
With the WCS and WCP I think it says your horse has to be competing and winning at Medium (is this correct?) is it the same with this?
Sorry, I don't know anything about schemes like this as it's my first year of affiliation at the moment but I am trying to learn as I go... especially with the young horse classes as even though Grace is out of them, Troy will be suitable when he is backed in three years
To even be considered onto the WCS or WCP you need to be getting consistantly 65%+ at Premier Leagues - you then put your name forwards once you are achieving these results and it goes from there. Equine Pathway is generally for the younger horses (7 and below) with potential to get to GP, not so much for horses that are already established if you see what i mean
Thtats great news! i went to watch last year, it was all inside unfortunatly...but horses seem to cope well in there! If they like your pony then carl or emile might even get on him

Ah right, thanks for that!
I don't think there is anything like what you are going to at Addington in the North West. I think I'll just wait for Troy before I start thinking of things in that league
I want lots of photos though of you and Archie at the selection... so make sure you take someone with a camera
