About the British Showjumping Para League
We are very proud to be working in conjunction with Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) to create a rider pathway for all Para riders. Together we are working to develop a structured pathway that will support any Para rider, from those who wish to compete with British Showjumping as a Para equestrian competitor to those that will and who already are currently competing internationally.
