We're a small, but mighty team heading to the 2026 North American Youth Championships! This group of four riders and five horses combines experienced championship Eventers with an exciting NAYC first-timer! 

The NAYC offers U25 athletes a unique opportunity to compete as part of a team before advancing to the senior level, making it an invaluable experience, which builds lasting friendships, important skills for the future, and memories for a lifetime. It's been an exciting journey watching these riders develop and I can't wait to support them in Maryland!

Congratulation to each and every one of you! Your hard work, dedication and passion for the sport have earned you this opportunity and we hope you enjoy every moment of your NAYC experience.

We’ll be cheering you on every step of the way!
