No, but would be interested to hear more, did you hear about it on the grape vine or read online? Ciss would probably be the one to ask.

It s being developed in partnership / consultation with the World Class Equine Development Programme but is still at a very early stage and AFAIK few if any young horse trainers have been identified as yet, nor has a cohesive development plan been drawn up for them as it is a bit on the back burner becuase World Class horse (rather than trainer) identification has taken priority up to now in this age group.
BYW, by 'Young Horse Trainer' we are talking here about specialist trainers in the European sense -- ie those specialists that concentrate the main emphasis of their business on taking on young horses from just backed 3-4 year olds to national age/ discipline championships at 6 years old (rather than youngstock raisers) -- and although these professionals are often extremely successful (both financially and in client base) in mainland Europe, it seems that they are almost as rare as hen's teeth in this country. This is partly becuase many of those that train and start young horses in this country seem to regard them as rather less important than the horses that they have competing at a higher level -- instead of viewing them as a major investment and income stream in their own right -- whereas in other countries the young horse trainers often deal with little else and do not have the problem of integrating two entirely different competitive / training approaches in the same yard.
IOW, to get a specialist Young Horse training system firmly established will mean triggering a cultural change in how people view their horses' competitive and training progress, which is one of the reasons it has been comparatively slow to progress.
If you wnat toknow more about exactly how the whole project is progressing I suggest that you e-mail Jan so that a dscussion / update on it gets on the next PSHP Steering Group meeting
