It’s the first opportunity for 12 talented youngsters in three teams to compete under new team sponsor banner, Team NAF. The three nations cup teams in the Young Rider, Junior and Pony categories will proudly be sporting their NAF team kit and branding during the trip to France.
Chefs d’Equipe Caroline Bell (Pony) and Cara Hayward (Junior & YR) will accompany the squads.
