Listen "5. Evolving from the Emerging Athletes Program with Jacob Pope"
Episode Synopsis
We're back with episode five of USHJA On Course and Jacob Pope, a special guest who has become a bit of a posterchild for one of USHJA's esteemed education programs. Jacob put himself on the top of the industry's radar when he won the Lindsay Maxwell Charitable Fund/USHJA Emerging Athletes Program in 2011, carrying that momentum into the following years to top the USEF Show Jumping Talent Search Finals - East and the ASPCA Maclay National Championship in 2012 and help claim team gold at the 2015 FEI North American Junior & Young Rider Championships. After finishing college and competing as an amateur, Jacob turned pro and is now a rider and trainer with Team Rakowsky. Hear from Jacob himself about how EAP shaped the rider he has become and what is next for him in the sport.
