Endurance riding is expensive, I know it’s not the most expensive of the equestrian disciplines, but there is no denying that owning and competing horses is a lifestyle choice and a huge financial commitment. I was lucky enough to have parents who funded me every season, across Europe, up and down the country and financially backed my dreams so that they could become reality.
My journey started with the Welsh Endurance Team and that is why we have started a fundraiser to support the Welsh Team at the Home International for Scotland 2022. I want riders to put themselves forward because they love the sport and they dream of competing for their country. I don’t want them to decide not to because they can’t afford it.
Ordinarily, individual riders would fund their transport, stabling, entry fees, accommodation, food, team kit and all those expenses that go alongside competing away. I know that we have had many a generous sponsor over the years, which our National teams are truly grateful for, but I would like to see if we could take it a step further and fund £250 worth of expenses for each rider.
I believe that the Home International is where our Team GBR riders can be made, that it serves as not only a great event in itself, with the opportunity to represent your Nation at every level from Novice to Elite, but it can also be inspiring, give you the Endurance Team bug and make riders dream bigger and aim higher.
