One of Britain’s leading agricultural colleges, Askham Bryan in York, will continue their sponsorship of the Young Rider Programme in 2015.

The College sponsors the highly successful British Young Rider Team and Programme. As part of this, Askham Bryan will also support qualifying competitions which help to identify prospective members of the Britain Young Rider Team at the 2015 FEI Young Rider Europeans at Strzegom (Poland, 27-30 August 2015).

Liz Philip, Principal of Askham Bryan commented: “We are delighted to support the Young Rider Under 21 series, for the second year. We have a great relationship with British Eventing, hosting competitions at the College since 2010.
