Nobody would have guessed that the Area II Junior eventing team was made up of all first-timers at the North American Junior and Young Rider Championships (Ky.) by the way they blazed around David O’Connor’s one-star track to take a 19-point lead ahead of Area VIII and the rest of the competitive CH-J* division.
There are so many more adorable, inspiring and fascinating moments at the 2014 Adequan/FEI NAJYRC, but you won't find them looking through a camera at the ring-you have to turn around.
Catherine Chamberlain had a fairytale week at the Adequan/FEI North American Junior and Young Rider Championships in Lexington, Ky., July 14-20. She and Verdicci earned the highest score in the Young Rider team competition and helped Region 7 win a gold medal.
