We had 6 Young Riders head south to compete at the USEF Eventing Young Rider Championships at Tryon International 3 Day Event, Nov 9-13, 2022 in Mill Spring, North Carolina. They had a week long training camp with Team Coach Kyle Carter at Five Ring Stables in Citra, FL before heading to Tryon for the competition. Mother Nature threw a variety of weather at the competitor’s over the course of the competition. From hot, sun, to torrential downpours thanks to Hurricane, the riders had a lot more to contend with than just the competition. They had a wonderful experience and we are so proud of them! CCI1*-L Team Anna Nelson & John…

The North American Youth Championships 2019 (formerly NAJYRC) will be held at Rebecca Farms, Kalispell, MT July 24-28, 2019.  There has been some changes made to the competition, as far as eligibility is concerned.  As neither Canada or Mexico have been able to field a team, the last few years, the competition is no longer an FEI Championship.  It is more like a Nations Cup.  Riders still need to meet National Eligibility Requirements and must be nominated via their Province. The Junior competition will be a CCI2L (Old CCI 1*).  So, we would expect a horse/rider combination be considered competent/safe to compete at this level. There were not any changes made…
