🎥 You’ve seen our days in Strömsholm. Now, see what it felt like to live them.

For our latest Social Media Challenge, each rider was asked to create a “Spend a Day with Me at the Young Riders Academy” vlog, capturing the session from their own point of view.

And this time, Rose takes us right inside the experience: from training and educational moments to everything happening in between.

Her take on a day at YRA made her the winner of our Strömsholm Social Media Challenge. 🏆

Come spend a day with Rose - YRA edition!🎬✨

PROUD DOESN’T EVEN BEGIN TO COVER IT. ❤️

A World Championship to remember for the entire Young Riders Academy family.

Seeing so many riders who have been part of the Academy competing on the biggest stage of our sport was already something special. Seeing four YRA riders make it all the way to the Individual Final made it even more remarkable.

Thibeau Spits, Harry Charles, Richard Vogel and Sophie Hinners among the very best in the world.

And then, two of them standing together on the podium:
🥈 Thibeau Spits — World Silver
🥉 Harry Charles — World Bronze

But this post is about more than medals.

It is about every YRA rider who entered that arena in Aachen, every journey that brought them there, and the privilege of watching talents who once joined the Academy continue to grow into some of the leading names of our sport.

From Young Riders Academy to the World Championships.
What a journey. What a family.

Congratulations to all of you. We couldn’t be prouder. ❤️

DOUBLE PODIUM. DOUBLE PRIDE.

Two riders, one unforgettable result in Aachen.

Seeing two members of the YRA Family standing on an individual World Championship podium is something truly special and a huge reason for pride for all of us.

From the Academy to the biggest stage in the sport, this is exactly what YRA is all about: supporting talent, building careers, and watching our riders rise among the very best in the world.

Congratulations, Thibeau and Harry. What a moment. ❤️
