About the NAJYRC
The Adequan/FEI North American Junior & Young Rider Championships (NAJYRC) competition is held annually in the summer. The NAJYRC is the pinnacle of a young rider's achievement. Teams from all areas of the U.S. as well as from Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, the Bahamas and the Caribbean are invited to compete in this international championship event. The NAJYRC is also recognized as the official Junior Olympics for Equestrian by the USOC. The championship models the format of the Olympic Games, whereby riders from all three equestrian disciplines of eventing, dressage, and show jumping assemble on one site to represent their country in competition. In the eventing competition, each USEA Area can send a team and/or individuals to represent their Area at either the CICY2* (ages 16-21) or CH-J* (ages 14-18) levels.
