The Future of Showjumping: Teams Take the Reins

As the CEO of BRIDL Ltd, I’ve had a front-row seat to the evolution of equestrian sports, and I’m excited to share why the future of showjumping lies in teams. The shift from individual to team formats, is revolutionizing the sport. Our Talent Team program, in collaboration with Scuderia 1918, is at the forefront of developing the next generation of team-oriented showjumping stars.




The Rise of Team Showjumping

Scuderia 1918 Racing Team: Scuderia 1918 has already seen success with its Racing Team, which operates on the principles of teamwork and shared success. This team has not only excelled in competitions but also demonstrated how a united front can lead to outstanding achievements. The Racing Team's success story serves as a model for our Talent Team program, showing the incredible potential when individual talents come together to work as one.


Why We Created the Talent Team Program

Holistic Development We believe in nurturing well-rounded athletes who excel both on and off the field. Our Talent Team program provides comprehensive training that goes beyond traditional equestrian skills, including physical fitness, mental conditioning, and business acumen.

Promoting Teamwork The shift towards team-based competitions requires riders to develop strategic thinking, leadership, and collaborative skills. Our program emphasizes these values, preparing riders to thrive in team formats.

Fostering Future Leaders By investing in young talent, we are cultivating the next generation of leaders in showjumping. These riders will not only succeed in competitions but also become ambassadors for the sport, driving innovation and progress within the equestrian community.

Enhancing Sponsorship Opportunities Teams attract more sponsorship opportunities by offering continuous visibility and a broader reach. Our program prepares riders to effectively engage with sponsors, ensuring they have the financial support needed for long-term success.


Why Teams Matter

  1. Enhanced Spectator Engagement Team competitions are more engaging for spectators. Fans can follow their favorite teams throughout the season, creating a sense of loyalty and excitement that is less prevalent in individual competitions.

  2. Increased Sponsorship Opportunities Teams attract more sponsorship opportunities. Companies are more likely to invest in a team that provides continuous visibility and a broader reach compared to individual sponsorships.

  3. Greater Rider Development Team formats foster a collaborative environment where riders can learn from each other. This shared knowledge and experience contribute to the overall growth and development of each rider.


Looking Ahead

The shift towards team formats in showjumping is not just a trend; it’s the future of the sport. Team formats have shown the benefits of this approach, and our Talent Team program is poised to further this evolution. By investing in young talent and fostering a team-oriented culture, we are ensuring that the future of showjumping is bright, dynamic, and collaborative.
