EQUESTRIAN WA LAUNCHES THE NEW JUNIOR EQUESTRIAN DEVELOPMENT SQUAD (JEDS)

We're absolutely thrilled to announce our new Maitland Park Junior Equestrian Development Squad (or JEDS, which is less of a mouthful) - creating the pathways for our future Olympic gold medalists and WA sporting heroes!

This new program, which replaces Rising Stars, has been created to assist the young riders of Western Australia to perform at the top level for their age group and open the pathway to the High Performance squads of WA.

We're calling for applications from our brightest young stars to begin their journey. To learn more about the program including the application criteria and process, visit the link below.

Listen to local Eventing Western Australia star Kenya Wilson talking about how similar programs to JEDS have helped shaped her journey through our sport and onto an Equestrian Australia High Performance squad!

Gossage will also chair a panel discussion featuring award nominees and the stars of equestrian sport in WA, recapping the year that was. A Welcome to Country will also feature at the event.

The Awards Night brings the equestrian community in WA together to celebrate the major achievements of our home-grown sports stars and luminaries from the sports of Dressage, Eventing, Interschool, Jumping, Show Horse and Para-Equestrian.
