The 39th Annual American National Riding Commission (ANRC) Intercollegiate Equitation Championship is being hosted by Centenary College, Laurinburg, Long Valley, New Jersey, on April 15-17, 2016. Approximately 15-20 college teams will showcase their most talented riders, who will be judged and scored in four phases: a Program Ride (including USEF hunter equitation tests); a Hunter Seat Equitation Medal Course; a Derby Style Equitation Course (over natural obstacles in a field); and a written test based on riding theory and equine science. Novice division entries will compete over fences at 2’6” and National division entries will compete over fences at 3’.

Both individuals and teams will receive honors and awards from ANRC, USEF (United States Equestrian Federation), and USHJA (United States Hunter-Jumper Association).

Judges for the 2016 championship will be Mr. Todd Karn, from Fayetteville, NY, and Dacia Funkhouser-Johnson, from Monticello, Fl. More information about the 2016 championship is available on the ANRC website at www.anrc.org.
