DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Description
The emphasis of the Young Riders Development Program is to provide educational opportunities in a program designed to produce competent and safe young eventers. Through clinics, camps, course walks, and other educational activities, members competing at the Beginner Novice through Preliminary level gain experience and benefit from the expert coaching and support the program provides. For many, though certainly not all, developing riders, the NAYRC (North American Young Riders Championships) is a future goal.
