The FEI North American Youth Championships (NAYC) for Dressage is the premier equestrian competition in North America for junior and young riders, ages 14-21. Young equestrians vie for team and individual FEI medals in the three Olympic equestrian disciplines of dressage, show jumping, and eventing. The competition is run under FEI (Federation Equestre Internationale), the international governing body of equestrian sport, and is the only FEI championship held annually on this continent. This year’s competition recently concluded on August 14, 2022. We take this opportunity to look back on some of the past competitions. Editor’s note: The competition was previously known as the North American Junior and Young Riders Championships (NAJYRC).
