Rebecca Farm, home to the largest equestrian triathlon in the U.S. each summer, will welcome a new competition as part of The Event this summer. The North American Junior/Young Rider Championships, known by some as “The Junior Olympics” of eventing, is the only one of its kind hosted in North America and will coincide with this year’s The Event at Rebecca Farm, July 19-23.

The North American Junior/Young Rider Championships brings together the sport’s highest-ranking junior and young riders, ages 14 to 21, from across the globe. Teams of qualified riders from North America and Canada will vie for team and individual medals in eventing, which consists of show jumping, dressage and cross country.

Celebrating its 16th year, The Event at Rebecca Farm will take place on the western outskirts of Kalispell. Established by the late Rebecca “Becky” Broussard, The Event at Rebecca Farm is a world-class, community-oriented event featuring courses that range from novice to Olympic qualifier.
