Canadian Reining Committee Announces Selection Criteria for 2010 NAJYRC

Ottawa, Ontario—The Canadian Reining Committee (CRC) and the High Performance subcommittee is pleased to announce that the selection criteria for 2010 North American Junior and Young Rider Championships (NAJYRC) has been established for the discipline of reining.

Riders who are interested in representing Canada at the 2010 Championships will have an opportunity to qualify by competing in specific Equine Canada classes between August 1, 2009, to June 7, 2010.

Riders who would like to be considered for selection to the 2010 NAJYRC event must declare their interest to Equine Canada by May 15, 2010, in accordance with the selection criteria, which is posted on the Equine Canada website at www.equinecanada.ca/reining.

Competition organizers that are interested in hosting a 2010 NAJYRC qualifying class must apply for Equine Canada sanctioning in advance of their event. Sanctioned qualifying classes must be held in accordance with the conditions identified in the selection criteria. Specific details on the sanctioning process are also posted on the CRC section Equine Canada website.

“We were thrilled with the response last year despite the short notice, so hopefully with the extended qualifying period the program will continue to grow,” said Wendy Dyer, chef d’équipe of the 2009 NAJYRC Reining Team.
