Connor Husain and Piece of Hope, third at Jersey Fresh CIC**, champion at NAJYRC CCI**, and winner of Fair Hill CCI**
As John mentioned at the USEA Convention, the 2013 Developing Rider/Eventing 25 list will be chosen from rides (maximum age of 25) who have achieved a qualifying result at the CCI2* level. David O’Connor will lead the Developing Rider program, which will include a classroom component in addition to lessons under saddle.
The following horses and riders have been chosen by the Eventing Selection Committee and approved by the Eventing High Performance Committee, to take part in training sessions in Gilroy, California and Ocala, Florida. The list has some familiar names (I think Connor Husain was pretty expected!) and some new faces, including “talent-spotted” Lauren Lambert and Honour Mission.
