NEXGEN Young Horse Series

And that’s a wrap! What a phenomenal debut event from NEXGEN. We are so thrilled to have been involved with the development of this amazing new format. NEXGEN highlights young horses across eventing, showjumping and dressage and is also a fantastic platform for emerging riders.

Held at the prestigious Hickstead Showground, BETTALIFE were there to catch the latest action, with sponsored riders across all three disciplines. Also, we loved meeting lots of you guys on the trade stand to talk all things BETTALIFE!

Dressage

Over between the white boards making BETTALIFE proud, Jade Clark. Trained by Carl Hester, Jade piloted the incredible six-year-old Jemima HH to a fierce third place in the super strong 6 Year Old Elite Stallions Young Horse Dressage Final. Top job Jade, and so well deserved!

Showjumping

Joss Williams was on fire in the six-year-old Coldstream Young Horse Final. He was riding the VDL Douglas mare FourFields Darc Maxim, they jumped a top class double clear. They were competing amongst an unbelievably quick class of up and coming talent, and earned themselves a highly respectable fourth place. And that’s not bad for a 360 mile trip for the one class with one horse!

Bring on 2021 for a bigger and better NEXGEN, where we hope to see even more young horse talent.
