| The North American Jr/Young Riders Championships |
|
Overview |
This unique and prestigious competition brings together the top advanced young riders from the North American continent to compete in dressage, eventing and show jumping.
The North American Jr/Young Rider Championships is an FEI competition, rated as a CDIOY, which means that it is one of the highest rated FEI competitions. Although this should be a fun and rewarding experience for all riders, the serious nature of this competition needs to be realized.
Qualifying to ride at this competition is an accomplishment in itself. However, many riders have serious aspirations to make the top 12, or maybe win a medal. Some riders have a goal to one day ride on the US Equestrian Team and the results of this competition may help them toward that goal.
This competition is also unique because it is often the first chance for a young competitor to ride on a team. This is an opportunity to train future team members, learning how to achieve a common goal through cooperation. The importance of teamwork and sportsmanship cannot be over emphasized.

Dr. Bob FEI Jr/Yr fund |
Dr. Bob FEI Junior/Young Rider Fund
We are pleased to announce the formation of the Dr. Bob FEI Junior/Young Rider Fund, established by Melanie Pai in honor of her father Dr. Robert Miller. This fund is available to declared REGION 9 only, FEI Juniors and Y/R to help with the cost of qualifying for the NAJYRC. The fund is available for the declared Juniors and Y/R that may need assistance with their show expenses. Melanie’s father Dr. Robert Miller taught her the importance of giving back when possible. We want to thank Melanie, who is a dedicated supporter of the Region 9 FEI Junior/Young Rider program, and this is yet another way she is “giving back”.
If you are interested in becoming a contributor to the Dr. Bob FEI Jr/YR fund which has been set up in a 501-C, contact Joan Darnell, 512-868-1814 joan@dressage.us or
Bess Reineman, Regional Director 936-636-7245 reinemanb@gmail.com
To apply for the fund, applications will be accepted until June 1, 2008, since the fund is just being formed. In subsequent years the applications will be accepted through April 1.
Jr/YR’s need to send an essay outlining their need and their plans to: Joan Darnell, 2500 Cr 100, Georgetown, Tx 78626.
Essays will be evaluated by Joan Darnell, Bess Reineman and Melanie Pai. |
