KCB Eventing (Jamie Kellock + Lauren Clark + Hanna Bundy = KCB) has started a wonderful blog of their own about their journey to hopefully represent Canada in the FEI Adequan North American Junior Young Riders Championships (NAJYRC) and they have kindly agreed to share their road to the NAJYRC with EN! Get to know the girls….

Meet Hanna:
My name is Hanna Bundy and I’m 18 years old. I am from Toronto, Canada and have been riding my whole life and eventing for the past 5 years. Just over a year ago I started training with Jessica Phoenix and became very focused and dedicated to my future in eventing. Last season I trained in Ocala, Florida with Jessie in hopes of making the North American Junior Young Rider Championships (NAJYRC) CCI* team. Unfortunately that didn’t work out, so we set our sights on a new goal of competing in the 2013 NAJYRC CCI** team. I recently got a new horse that I am so excited about! He is a 10 yo Buckskin Mustang x Quarter horse (funny I know) named Mustard, show name D’Jion. I have had Mustard since the end of August of this year and have successfully done one Preliminary Event where we finished 5th and one Intermediate where we finished 2nd. I am going to Florida again this season and have multiple CIC/CCI**events scheduled. I am so excited for 2013 and can’t wait to try to reach my goal of being on the 2013 CCI** Canadian team for NAJYRC!

Meet Jamie:
My name is Jamie Kellock and I am 17 years old. NAJYRC has been a goal of mine since I started eventing at the age of 13. This season I have the opportunity to try for the CCI* team on my seven-year-old OTTB named Don’t Blink. I am lucky to have been training with Olympian Jessie Phoenix for the past year and look forward to competing in Florida with her for the 2013 season. I have been competing at the preliminary level for this past season and I am excited to do my first CIC/CCI* in Florida! I feel fortunate to have such a great support system behind me and I am excited to blog about my road to the NAJYRCs along side my best friends!

Meet Lauren:
My name is Lauren Clark and I am 16 years old. I have been eventing for four years. I have been training with Jessie Phoenix for almost a year and have gained so much from training with her. I am excited to try for the 2013 NAJYRC CCI* team with both my horses. Windsor High aka Bart is a 9-year-old ISH. My other horse Coolum XV aka Benny is a six year old New Zealand thoroughbred. This year I moved both horses up to the preliminary level and I look forward to tackling CIC/CCI* in Florida. I cant wait to share the journey with my fellow bloggers and my support team!
We hope you enjoy following along as these three young ladies set out on some pretty stellar goals for 2013! For now, we’ll leave you with a little video from KCB at the Royal.
