Team GB are Olympic Champions

Dear Member,

As I am sure you are aware Team GB won the Team Gold and Individual Silver at the Tokyo Olympics which was a fantastic result and the first time GB have won the team gold since 1972, 6 years before the HTSG was formed.

A special thanks must also go to all the members of the HTSG who have continued supporting us throughout the pandemic.  As you all know, the top group of riders were given invaluable funds from the HTSG in order to receive more training during 2020 and 2021.  This additional funding played a significant part in the campaign for medals in Tokyo and the selected riders certainly produced exceptional performances to win.

The HTSG have also helped to support the extra international events at Bicton and Aston le Walls, where invaluable competitions took place in preparation for the Olympics.

And, it is fabulous to have had Laura Collett (and London 52) as one of our scholars in 2018 and she has continued to be one of our ambassadors since then!

Karen Bartlett, our treasurer, has been involved with the HTSG for too many years to count, and we are all thrilled that her co ownership along with HTSG member Keith Scott of London 52 has made a dream come true!!!

I would also like to thank all our committee members who have worked so hard over the years bringing skill, hard work and invaluable support.

The HTSG would also like to thank all the players who have kindly agreed to play in the Golf Tournament at Naunton raising funds supporting our riders who are now preparing for the European Championships and hopefully another Gold medal.

All the best,

Ginny Elliott
HTSG Chairman

“Let’s Make a Difference”

The HTSG Committee are pleased to announce that we have agreed an exciting new funding donation with Team GBR’s Performance Director and Performance Manager for Eventing, Richard Waygood, MBE.
​
Titled “Let’s Make a Difference”, a donation of £20,000 raised through the HTSG has been made to support the training of British riders who are in the running for selection onto the British Olympic Team heading to Tokyo 2020.

 
The two-stage programme will start with each rider receiving a training bursary to be spent on training with elite coaches between now and Long List Selection in May.  Coaching plans will be discussed with Chris Bartle, the Eventing High Performance Coach and Richard Waygood.  The second stage will kick in after Long List Selection and will target the funds to key individuals on the Long List on a bespoke basis.

The HTSG has a well-established partnership with British Teams, having been established in 1978 with the specific aims of the aiding and funding training and development of talented riders for Britain's three-day event teams.  This latest donation affirms this relationship and we look forward to seeing British riders develop further thanks to the additional training they will receive thanks the generosity of our members.
 
Ginny Elliott, HTSG Chair said:
“We all feel it is a brilliant concept and I am sure our members will wholeheartedly agree.  We all wish the riders a great season and preparation for Tokyo”.
 
 Richard Waygood said:
“I would like to say a huge thank you on behalf of the riders and owners to all HTSG group members for supporting Team GBR in this very generous way.  The training bursaries will be used to support riders campaigning for Tokyo to sharpen that competitive edge which will set them apart.”
