For 30 years recognized eventing has been run in the Flathead Valley and there is no better place to escape the summer heat than July in Kalispell, Montana. The Event at Rebecca Farm ranks as one of the most picturesque in the world with the backdrop of Glacier National Park and acres upon acres of yellow canola fields. Mix the scenery in with the emotion of the Adequan North American Youth Championships and you have a recipe for a dream.
