Information for Under 18 Eventers

British Eventing - Finding, Supporting & Improving the Skills of Younger Riders

BE runs an under 18 programme aimed at providing training and encouragement to all young riders on a regional basis.  The country is divided into eight regions, each with its own U18 Regional Co-ordinator, who run the programme in their region.

The aim of the programme is not only to find and support young riders who can progress to riding on our teams at  Regional, Pony, Junior and Young Rider levels but also to improve the skills of younger riders at all levels. 

Minimum Age: for joining BE is 11 but in the year of your 12th birthday.  At this age you have to start at BE80 and BE90 levels. For full details please see the rule book or view the Rule Book online.
