Bedmax Young Rider Scholarship Programme

To mark their 20th year, BGA sponsor BEDMAX is opening its unique Young Rider Scholarship Programme to all disciplines for the 2020 season.

For the fifth year running, the pioneering manufacturer of UK best-selling BEDMAX and LITTLEMAX dust free pine shavings is looking to support an inspirational young rider throughout a twelve-month programme. Previously open only to those competing in eventing, dressage and showjumping, the Young Rider Scholarship for 2020 is open to riders in any equestrian discipline, aged between 16 and 23, living and training in England, Scotland or Wales.

Starting in February 2020, the scholarship gives one talented young rider a unique opportunity to represent BEDMAX in public, contribute to their social media communications and educational programmes, and attend some of the UK’s leading equine events.

The chosen Young Rider is expected to be an ambassador for both their own equestrian discipline and for BEDMAX. In return, BEDMAX will provide a year’s supply of BEDMAX shavings for one horse, BEDMAX branded clothing and horse rug, and expert support in education, training and PR.

As a representative of BEDMAX, The Young Rider Scholar is expected to help raise awareness amongst younger riders of the crucial part that good bedding and stable management can play in keeping horses healthy and happy in the stable, and fit to perform at their best.

2019 Young Rider, Frankie Swallow, has taken a big step up with her eventer, Darius IV, this year.

Applications for the 2020 BEDMAX Young Rider Scholarship is now closed.
