Goals and Benefits

  • Provide a team atmosphere and support system for young riders throughout all levels of eventing.

  • To make young riders aware of educational opportunities - coaching, course walks, clinics, camps, etc.

  • To promote good sportsmanship and the facilitation of working as a team member.

  • To develop respect for the horse, without whom the sport is not possible.

  • Educational clinics and camps

  • Year End Awards for Young Rider members

  • To field a national team to represent the United States, through the NGB, at the European Young Riders Championships.

  • Represent USEA Area X at USEF Eventing Youth Team Challenge

  • To develop camaraderie among young riders, thus, hopefully, developing lifelong friendships and a commitment to the sport, which will be carried on as members of the U.S. Team, volunteers at local events, coaches, trainers, competitors, and consumers of equine products.
