One of the summer’s signature weeks has arrived. The FEI North American Youth Championships (NAYC) return to Flintfields Horse Park this week, bringing North America’s top young athletes together for a week of team and individual competition in show jumping and dressage.

From opening team competitions through Sunday’s individual finals, NAYC showcases the next generation of international equestrian sport. Below are this week’s competition highlights, along with links to the full NAYC timetable and social schedule.

The FEI North American Youth Dressage Championships (NAYC) is the premier equestrian competition in North America for children (ages 12-14), juniors (ages 14-18), young riders (ages 16-21), and U25 (ages 16-25). Young equestrians vie for team and individual FEI medals in the Olympic equestrian disciplines of dressage and show jumping. 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.
