Young Riders Claim Victory at the 2026 USEA Area 1 Championships
Three Area 1 Young Riders emerged victorious at Huntington Farm for the 2026 USEA Area 1 Championships at the end of August. Congratulations to Ruth Dunahoo & Coney Street (N-CH), Thayer Mudge & Holly Go Lucky (BN-CH), and Paige Uhlman & Dually (Starter-CH) and to Leyla Sheldon for winning Best Turned Out at the YRP Formal Jog.
The Young Rider Program offers two types of recognition awards. One is awarded to the YRP member who has received the lowest (best) finishing score at each Area 1 recognized horse trial. At the end of the year those recipients are reviewed and the member with the lowest score of the season is awarded the Young Rider Cup in Memory of Jessica Halliday presented by North Bridge Equine. More information about Young Rider Awards can be found here.
