STAR of the future Laura Robinson has received her British Showjumping advanced apprenticeship in sporting excellence (AASE) award.

The 18 year-old North Yorkshire rider picked up her certificate at the London International Horse Show at Olympia.

The certificate was presented by Rob Hoekstra, the British Showjumping’s world class showjumping performance manager.

The AASE plays a major role in developing talented young athletes between the ages of 16 and 19, and preparing them for top competition.

Robinson is among the first group of students due to finish their programme next month. A spokesman said: “To celebrate their completion of the training camps, Haddon Training invited all of the students to the London International Horse Show, where they enjoyed a drinks reception and watched the evening performance from private boxes.”
