About the ANRC Equitation National Championships

The ANRC Equitation National Championships are an invitational competition at the 3’ or 2’6” fence heights for collegiate, junior, adult amateur, and ANRC alumni teams that pay an annual ANRC team membership fee. There is no need to qualify. Julie Winkel (Reno, Nev.) and Scott Hoffstetter (Ocala, Fla.) will judge all divisions.

The competition consists of four phases to include a written test, flat class, equitation derby course, and hunter seat medal course.

The highest score in each phase will be awarded to the rider who demonstrates excellence in equitation and produces a smooth, cooperative performance with their horse that exemplifies quality hunter movement on the flat and over fences. The cumulative scores produce the final individual and team standings.
