The Under 25 Jumpers U.S. Open Championship competition of the 2018 WEQx Games™, which will distribute $50,000 over two days of competition during the second week of the event, is open for participants to submit inquiries of interest. The 2018 WEQx Games™ will take place during the FEI World Equestrian Games™ Tryon 2018 (WEG) at Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC) in Tryon, NC, from September 11-23, 2018.

The Under 25 Jumpers U.S. Open Championship competition of the WEQx Games™ will span two days and offer a $25,000 Under 25 Welcome and a $25,000 Under 25 Grand Prix for many of world’s top athletes under the age of 25. The Under 25 division is one of the most prestigious in the world and the Organizing Committee of the WEQx™ Games anticipates a large turnout of competitors for the two-day competition come September.

“Hosting Under 25 competition during the WEQx™ Games will offer an incredible opportunity for the sport’s top riders under the age of 25 to experience a championship level event and atmosphere,” said Mark Bellissimo, CEO of the WEQx Games™ and managing partner of the Tryon Equestrian Partners (TEP). “We felt strongly that an Under 25 competition was essential to the competition outline of the WEQx Games™ and believe it will be one of the strongest Under 25 competitions we see in the North America this year.”
