Junior/Young Riders Teams

This page is dedicated to helping our junior team riders raise funds and awareness in order to compete in the Lendon Gray Dressage4Kids competition in New York and other team events. DVCTA also supports our young event riders in pursuit of their dreams by offering several day clinics especially for out young riders. DVCTA’s junior young riders work hard all year long riding and fundraising for the chance to compete for a weekend in July against their GMO peers.

DVCTA has taken up to thirty junior riders to this competition and with our funding, they are able to attend. Please help our junior rider team achieve their goals! All funds raised will go directly to the junior team for their regional competition, which includes Dressage4Kids Youth Festival.

If you would like further information on how your donation will be used for the team, please contact Lisa Knox at jrteam@dvcta.org.
