Young Riders is on one hand a super-serious event, and on the other hand an awesomely fun gathering great riders from all over North America. It’s important for the riders to find a good balance to take advantage of the full Young Riders experience. Area I is striking a good balance this weekend as Marion Quigley, Area 1’s chef and coordinator, is kind enough to show us in her latest Area I Young Riders report for Eventing Nation. As always, thanks for writing this Marion, good luck to Area I this weekend, and thank you for reading.

From Marion Quigley:
Well we are here at NAJYRC in Kentucky, and the jog is happily a fond memory! It was quite a blast as you can see from the above video. The videos were made by a 6 year old girl, who was bribed by her parents to come cheer on the Area 1 team, by telling her she could play with the movie app on his phone! We thought it was hysterical, so we are sharing it with Eventing Nation.
Dancing at Spy Coast Farm’s excellent party! Thank you Spy Coast Farm for a great time!!!
Our team is doing well, the girls are pumped! All passed the jog, while looking sharp in their matching jog outfits. Dressage starts today, and we will send updates. The team is walking the cross-country course with their coach Mikki Kuchta, on this nice cool Thursday morning. A big storm last night brought lots of much needed rain and a bit cooler temperatures.

Go Area One, Go Eventing Nation!!!!
