the 2011 North American Junior/Young Rider Championships (NAJYRC)!

The following Manitobans have qualified to represent the province

In the discipline of Reining, 3 horse/rider pairs were selected to Young Rider Team Alberta/Manitoba:

Lisa Hiebert and Watch Tiger Jack (Grunthal, MB)

Kylie Wasiuta and Smart Boom (Winnipeg, MB)

In the discipline of Dressage, 1 horse/rider pair was selected to represent Manitoba and Canada as a Junior Individual:

Both Kylie Wasiuta and Sarah Loewen are returning competitors to this event, each also participating with the same horse at the 2010 Championships. Further, Kylie has competed in this event every year since the inception of the Reining component in 2008. Kylie's 2008 NAJYRC mount, Watch Tiger Jack, is now slated to attend this year's event with fellow teammate Lisa Hiebert.

The 2011 NAJYRC will be held July 25-31 at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky USA.

Congratulations and best of luck from Manitoba Horse Council!
