TYRONE’s Olivia Roulston joined a list of esteemed riders when she was chosen by top international show jumping coach Johan Heins as the winner of the coveted RDS Bursary. Olivia (20) has been based with Woods Rosbotham since 2017 and is trained by Lisa Rosbotham. She also takes lessons from Dermott Lennon as well as Clare Abbott from time to time.

Roulston said: “I’m delighted to have won the Young Rider Bursary at the RDS. It has been a goal of mine for a long time and to be recognised by the great Johan Heins is truly overwhelming. I have started to build a great team of horses and they have been on top form recently so it’s nice when hard work pays off in such a way. Winning this bursary will open a lot of doors for me and I’m excited to see where it can take me. A big ‘thank you’ to Woods Rosbotham and family for making this possible.”
