The United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) is pleased to announce that the Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI), the international governing body for equestrian sport, has recently approved that the 2008 North American Junior and Young Riders’ Championships (NAJYRC) will take place at the Colorado Horse Park in Parker, CO July 29-August 3, 2008.

Since 1974, the NAJYRC is one of the premier equestrian competitions in North American for Junior and Young Riders, age 14-21. Young equestrians come from all over North America to compete both in individual and team medal competitions in the three Olympic equestrian disciplines of show jumping, dressage and eventing.

This will be the third time that the Championship will take place at the Colorado Horse Park. The last time the event took place at the Colorado Horse Park was in 2002.
