Young Riders Program

Mission

The purpose of the program is to encourage our members below the age of 25 to become involved in the sport of Eventing and continue this involvement into their adult lives as members of the US Team, volunteers at local events, coaches, trainers, competitors, and consumers of equine products. The activities of the Young Rider Program are designed to develop camaraderie among young riders, thus, hopefully, developing lifelong friendships and a commitment to the sport.
