Maitland Park Junior Equestrian Development Squad Announced
Equestrian WA are delighted to announce the riders selected to be part of the Maitland Park Junior Equestrian Development Squad (JEDS) for 2023.
The purpose of the JEDS is to assist West Australian young riders perform at the top level for their age group and open the pathway to the high-performance squads of WA.
The JEDS participated in their first off-horse cultural session on Saturday 25 February; consisting of an Outside the Locker Room mental health discussion; covering topics such as signs and symptoms of mental ill-health, how to start the conversation and how to support someone going through a mental health challenge.
Riders Kenya Wilson and Rosie Oliver also came down to talk to the squad, drawing on their own personal experiences being part of the B.E.A.T.S program and their journey on the EWA performance pathway.
The day was rounded out with some team building and team bonding exercises, with squad members also collecting their JEDS uniform for 2023.
