For over 10 years, the Horse Sport Young Riders Scholarships have been generously awarded to the top placed Canadian rider in each discipline at the North American Junior and Young Riders Championships (NAJYRC) in the Young Riders division. The 2008 NAJYRC was held July 29 - August 3 in Parker, Colorado.
The scholarships are to aid Canada's top young riders in their endeavours in the Olympic disciplines of dressage, eventing and show jumping.
Scholarships were awarded to the following riders:
Show Jumping
Jaclyn Duff, of Edmonton, AB, was the top-placed Canadian Young Rider for the second year in row aboard Pan Tau. This year the pair improved their results, placing fifth overall.
Dressage
Jaimie Holland, of Caledon, ON, finished 10th place overall aboard Fleurina.
Eventing
Stephanie Rhodes-Bosch, of Summerland, B.C., was the sole Canadian representative, taking the individual bronze medal with Port Authority.
The three riders received a scholarship award of $1,000 each to put toward the costs associated with competing and travelling at that level.
