Equestrian WA is delighted to announce the Maitland Park Junior Equestrian Development Squad (JEDS) is back for 2025!
The Junior Equestrian Development Squad assists the young riders of Western Australia (riders must be 17 years of age or under, as of 1 January 2024) to perform at the top level for their age group and open the pathway to the high-performance squads of WA.
We invite applications from equestrian's future stars across WA!
All Horse/rider combinations will need to complete a online form with their qualifications between 1/1/24 and 1/1/25.
New combinations, new riders or past members who do not meet the qualifications will need to ride at the assessment.
All riders will need to upload a written essay or a two-to-three-minute video answering our provided questions via our online Application Form.
