Jessie remains on World Class development scheme
Jessie Drea
Broadbridge Heath-based showjumper Jessie Drea has been retained by the British Equestrian Federation World Class Development programme.
Jessie, 20, was first selected for the progamme two years ago. Funded by UK Sport, the Development Programme works with talented riders to maximise their potential and deliver success on the international stage.
“After such a fantastic 2012 which saw our equestrian athletes perform magnificently in London at the Olympic and Paralympic Games, it is great to start 2013 with the announcement of the Development Programme which identifies our most talented up and coming athletes,” commented BEF Equestrian World Class Performance Director, Will Connell.
“The strength in depth across all four disciplines made the selection process very difficult so I’m sure Amy and Jessie will make the most of the help and expertise available to them.”
All riders on the Programme will have access to the same World Class benefits including; mentoring, coaching, human and equine sports science and medicine (fitness / nutrition / equine management / farriery advice etc).
Performance is continuously assessed and riders are formerly reviewed every six months. Targets and objectives are also set, as is funding to assist with achieving these agreed aims. Se ection is on a two yearly basis but this does not mean that a rider cannot be taken onto or removed from the Programme during the two year cycle.
The World Class Development Programme underpins World Class Performance and, together with the Equine Pathway, they comprise the Equestrian World Class Programme, incorporating the three Olympic sports of dressage, eventing, showjumping and the Paralympic sport of para-equestrian dressage.
