One of the biggest avenues of inspiration for riders who hope to become eventers (or equestrians in any context) is the mentorship of top riders. We’ve seen this a lot in our sport, from the development of the Wesko Foundation in the UK, to the efforts made by riders such as Alex Hua Tian to engage with riders from Asian countries, to the founding of organizations such as Strides for Equality Equestrians here in the U.S, and beyond. Now, newly-crowned Olympic champion Michael Jung has entered into a similar partnership with the Royal Stable Unit of Thailand, and we can’t wait to see more about what’s on tap through this opportunity. What lucky riders!

This article from Practical Horseman can get you started.
