For the past three years, North America’s best and brightest young eventers have been covening in Kalispell, Montana, each July for the Adequan North American Youth Championships (NAYC). Today US Equestrian confirmed that NAYC will return to The Event at Rebecca Farm once again in 2020, with the competition scheduled to run from July 22-26.
“US Equestrian is thrilled that The Event at Rebecca Farm will once again host the NAYC,” said Bill Moroney, CEO of US Equestrian. “This fantastic event and venue, which is one of the only opportunities for our youth eventing athletes to emulate international team competition format, continues to be incredibly valuable for their future success at the highest levels of the sport. We thank the Broussard family and Rebecca Farm team for their continued commitment in ensuring the success of this event.”
The NAYC offers an elite opportunity for rising talent to build confidence in both a team and individual championship competition environment, while representing their country under international FEI rules. The competition format, which emulates that of senior championship competition, is essential in the continued development of athletes, while ensuring future success for US Equestrian’s Olympic programs.
