Lexington, KY - The United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) is announcing the following date and location for the 2011 Adequan FEI North American Junior/Young Rider Championships presented by Gotham North (NAJYRC). The NAJYRC will be held at the Kentucky Horse Park July 27-31, 2011.

In the past two years, NAJYRC competitors were some of the first to perform in the Kentucky Horse Park's newly built Rolex Outdoor Stadium and Alltech Indoor Arena. In 2011, junior and young riders will return to contest for medals in the same venues that just recently determined the World Champions at the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games.

As competitors begin to plan their 2011 competition seasons the USEF is providing this information so juniors, young riders and their Chefs d'Equipe can plan accordingly. These championships will decide medalists in the three Olympic disciplines of dressage, eventing and jumping and the Western discipline of reining.
