The PCAWA Development Squad members will be coached in the relevant discipline/s of Dressage, Showjumping, Eventing and Games. Lectures will cover Rider Fitness, Mental Skills, Motivation and Pre-Competition Skills, Feeding the Competition Horse, Training for Fitness, Care of the Horse during and after Competition.
All applications to the development squad will be considered and on-going assessments will be made during the development program. Riders at the required levels will need to provide sufficient proof of success. It is therefore important that documentary evidence of results in Dressage, Showjumping or Eventing events are kept and submitted when requested.
Riders will be expected to give a fair degree of commitment to the training programme, and attendance at Training Days will be strongly recommended. Riders who are unable to meet the required standards or commitments may not be retained in the Development Squad.
For nomination eligibility please refer to criteria on the nomination forms.
Riders will be responsible for all their own costs and expenses. It is strongly recommended that riders actively source individual sponsorship to assit with expenses.
If you like to nominate and you meet the selection criteria please complete the nomination form and forward to PCAWA office as soon as possible.
