BSJA AREA 51 JUNIOR ACADEMY
Letter to all eligible members
JUNIOR ACADEMY POINTS LOG 2008
The Junior Academy for area 51 is initiated by the BSJA to encourage younger members and new members and to promote the sport of show jumping. We welcome applications from any interested young show jumpers up to 18 years of age. You will find a link to the membership form on this page.
The Area's BSJA Accredited Trainer is Claire Rushworth. She will be taking the local sessions that you will see advertised. We will also have visiting Accredited Trainers and these details will be found on the training section of the website. we welcome Academy members to these courses.
We also aim to have non mounted sessions. These talks, visits or demonstrations are to help you develop your knowledge and understanding and of course through this be more successful.
The Academy has been formed to meet the needs of the young riders within Area 51. Ideas from Academy members are valued and gratefully received by the co-ordinator.
The object of the Academy is to help members learn about show jumping in every way. From riding a course of jumps to how to prepare your pony or horse and yourself in the best possible way. How to understand and enjoy the sport you have chosen to compete in. It is also to help in the transition from ponies to horses.
The Area Committee hope that the Academy will promote the sport of show jumping and encourage new members.
It is free to join - the charges made for the training are only to cover the costs - we do not aim to make a profit and if funds are raised these will be used to benefit young riders within Area 51.
This section of the website is maintained by Val Mason, your co-ordinator. If you have any ideas about items you would like to see posted on this section of the website please e-mail me val.blue@hotmail.co.uk.
