Welcome to the Wesko Equestrian Foundation
The Wesko Equestrian Foundation is a non-profit organisation founded in memory of Christina Knudsen and her passion for the sport of Eventing.
The Foundation’s mission is to honour Christina’s last wish in helping secure the future of young riders around the world. We aim to do this by bringing education and training to talented young riders and facilitate new opportunities for young people within the equestrian community.
THE YOUNG EVENTERS PATHWAY
TRAINING
In 2023 the Wesko Foundation expanded its support of young event riders via the new Young Eventers Pathway. Furthering the Foundation’s mission to support young eventing riders from every background, to become better and more viable athletes.
The new Pathway offers training pathways with elite coaches to up to 14-riders per season. Structured over three annual training camps, the Pathway offers a support network for the riders, and a peer learning environment.
EDUCATION
The 12-month education programme offers riders support in a variety of areas, from business to media training, fitness and nutrition, and to equine welfare.
Through the support of programme partners such as Agria, Dengie and the Young Riders Academy, pathway members have the opportunity to gain new insights, education and experiences, visiting and learning from leaders in their fields.
