The Howden Way offers three core programmes; the Rider Talent Academy and Young Horse Academy which supports British Eventing members, whilst the Thoroughbred Aftercare Programme (TAP) helps ex-racehorses transition to riding horse careers.

Three Unique Training Programmes

The Howden Way offers structured training for up-and-coming eventing horses and riders, focusing on developing technical skills and confidence helping to improve performance. The Rider Talent Academy and Young Horse Academy provide tailored coaching for promising combinations. Additionally, the Thoroughbred Aftercare Programme supports racehorses transitioning to riding horse careers.

Thoroughbred aftercare programme

The Thoroughbred Aftercare Programme (TAP) helps transition ex-racehorses into new careers post racing, offering step-by-step guidance with their retraining. TAP provides expert advice via a range of online resources and videos on everything from daily routines, training, and re-schooling with input from vets, trainers, and elite event riders.

It also offers subsidised regional training throughout the year, delivered by qualified coaches, to support ex-racehorses' successfully transition into new roles, whether for pleasure riding or other disciplines.

Rider talent academy

The Rider Talent Academy supports riders aged 14-28 years within British Eventing, offering top-tier training in addition to helping riders transition successfully to senior competition. 

In collaboration with British Eventing, it nurtures talent by providing expert coaching, camps and training sessions in addition to competition support to help riders progress to the next level.

Young horse academy

The Young Horse Academy supports the development of 5-7-year-old horses in British Eventing. Horses identified at the Cornbury House Championships are invited to Development Days and, if selected, join the academy for training with top coaches. 

The programme includes expert advice from vets, farriers, and nutritionists as well as bespoke training and competition support. The Howden Way also provides funding for Young Horse classes and supports the British Eventing Young Horse Leagues, helping young horses gain experience and exposure.
