The twelve successful riders are as follows:
- Kathryn Ellison
- Charlotte Lee
- Laura Mantel
- Rachel Gallop
- Georgia Lovett
- James Winter
Speaking after the final selection, lead coach on the programme Corinne Bracken said “The International Experience Programme is in its third year and the selection for the 2016 programme has been of the highest standard to date. All of the riders involved on the programme have made considerable progression in international competition and are now showing the potential to move to the next level in Europe. The individuality of our sport allows progression to top level at any age. This programmes allows for their development with the support of top level coaches at the next stage; Bonheiden International in September.
