The 13 & Under championship showcases a field of eight from all parts of the United States. Max Brockway of Enumclaw, Washington will be riding in his first Seat Medal Finals, but aims to exhibit the discipline and technique he has learned through riding his parents’ JRB Friesians. Tillie Jones makes her second trip to the Finals from her Lincoln, Nebraska base, looking to improve upon her ninth place finish last year.
The 14-18 division hosts nine strong competitors, many of whom make their third championship appearance of the summer, after having competed at the USEF Dressage Festival of Champions and Adequan/FEI North American Junior and Young Rider Championships presented by Gotham North. Elk Grove, California’s Genay Vaughn competed in the Young Rider divisions at both collecting third place and Team Silver respectively at the two competitions. She will aim to close out her junior career with a National Title before riding solely in the Young Rider ranks next year. In 2009, Rebecca Blake claimed Champion honors in the 13 & Under division and travels to Lamplight from Auburn, Washington with the aim of claiming the 14-18 crown.
