The
BSJA Junior Scholarship was launched in 2003 for Junior members
in the form of a training scholarship. The scholarship has been
kindly sponsored by the Pony of the Year Show for the second year
running.
Traditionally
profits from POYS have been reinvested to offer generous prize
money and prizes in kind year on year. Such is the strength of
the show it can now support Junior initiatives and the BSJA is
delighted to welcome their support.
This
scholarship will be in the form of two days training with a BSJA
accredited trainer and will be awarded to winning riders at the
following major competitions. If the winning rider has already
qualified for the scholarship, the scholarship will be awarded
to the next highest placed rider not to have already qualified.

Jacky
Wood Chief Executive of the BSJA said "Any initiative that
encourages training is a step in the right direction. Sponsorship
from successful shows such as the Pony of the Year Show is indicative
of the strength of pony show jumping in Great Britain and emulates
BSJA ponies success both at home and abroad. This BSJA scholarship
is set to help continue the line of success"
