The U.S. Equestrian Federation announced Tuesday that the Maryland International and Horse Trials at Loch Moy Farm in Adamstown, Maryland, has been chosen to host the 2026-2027 USEF Eventing Young Rider Championships (CCIJ1*-Intro, CCIYJ2*-S, CCIU253*-S). The championships will be held June 25-28, 2026, and June 24-27, 2027.
“I’m delighted that the USEF Eventing Young Rider Championships will continue to be held at Loch Moy,” said cross-country course designer Andrew Heffernan. “Part of my job as a designer is to educate the future generations, and if I can play a small part in producing America’s upper level riders of the future then I am doing my job right.”
The championships will continue in the current format, a short-format summer competition, through 2027. Areas may put forward teams (three to four athlete-and-horse combinations) and/or individuals to compete.
