Each of the United States Region 4 dressage team riders was competing in their first team championship as the team claimed gold in the United States Dres- sage Federation (USDF) North American Junior Dressage Team Championship at the Adequan® FEI North American Youth Championships (NAYC), present- ed by Gotham North, at Old Salem Farm in North Salem, NY.
The Region 4 riders posted a com-
bined score of 203.18 to take the gold over the U.S. Region 2 team, which earned sil- ver with a combined score of 202.63, and the U.S. Region 9 team, which collected a combined score of 199.63 for the bronze medal on the first day of NAYC compe- tition on July 31. Last year, the Region 4 Junior team claimed silver in the same event, but this was the first NAYC gold medal for a Region 4 dressage team. In the United States Dressage Fed- eration (USDF) North American Young Rider Dressage Team Championship, it came down to a solid team effort that propelled U.S. Region 1 team to gold in a close race for the medals at the Ade- quan® FEI North American Youth Cham- pionships (NAYC), presented by Gotham North, at Old Salem Farm in North Sa- lem, NY.
Region 1 team’s total of 205.70 was just fractions of a point higher than the Quebec/Ontario team’s total of 205.67, relegating the Canadian riders to the silver medal. The U.S. Region 3 team claimed bronze with a 205.08 total. w
