Cream of Scots young show jumping talent to join Jessica
Kurten masterclass
World class show jumper Jessica Kurten and eight of Scotland’s
top young riders are to come together on the evening of Thursday
January 10 to give what promises to be a memorable and inspiring
BHS Scotland masterclass.
Currently ranked among the top four show jumpers in the world,
2007 British Open winner Jessica will school four male and
four female riders currently among the top of Scotland’s
junior ranks.
For the boys, Scott Brash, Alex Barr and James Scullion will
be joined by leading under-18 rider Adam Valks.
Scott, who won the six-year-old championships at HOYS in
2005, is a former young rider team member along with Alec
Barr. James Scullion is a former under-21 team member who
contested the seven-year-old class at HOYS this year with
17-year-old Adam Valks.
The four ladies are Jemma Kirk, Stacey Babes, Laura Hut and
Kelly Conner. Laura were in the under-18 nations cup team
in Weirden in 2006 and has won both the south-west and north-west
Scottish Branch championships previously.
Jemma was in the junior nations cup team in France in 2006
and is currently part of the world-class start and potential
squad. Stacey has also represented at nations cup level and
took part on the newcomers at HOYS this year with Kelly who
produced a memorable double clear for the Scottish team in
the British Open 2005 and won the Scottish under 21 championships
in 2006.
BHS Scotland Chairman Loraine Young said: "With such
a talented line-up of young riders to demonstrate just how
to 'Enjoy Winning' with Jessica, this masterclass is going
to be both educational and thrilling."
