The 2014-15 junior and young rider squads have been announced following the viewing day at Vale View Equestrian Centre, Leicestershire (5 October).
Riders came from all areas of the country to exhibit their talent in front of the selectors; riding the relevant team test (junior or young rider) during a test riding session, the riders had the opportunity to have a one-to-one discussion with one of the selectors, where they received feedback on the test and had the chance to ask any questions.
Based on ability, experience and results, the riders have been divided into three types of squad: Prime, progress and promising squad.
The junior and young rider team announcement comes after the pony teams were published in September; their viewing day was held at the Unicorn Trust on 14 September 2014.
