CANADA’S 2024 NAYC ATHLETES NAMED TO DRESSAGE TEAM

Equestrian Canada press release
Equestrian Canada (EC) is pleased to officially announce the talented young dressage athletes that will represent Canada at the 2024 FEI North American Youth Championships (NAYC) in Traverse City, MI from Jul. 30 - Aug. 4, 2024.
​
NAYC brings together top dressage athletes aged 12 to 21 years from Canada, the United States, Mexico and the Caribbean for the chance to compete for team and individual medals. For the fourth consecutive year, the Championships will be held at the Great Lakes Equestrian Festival at Flintfields Horse Park.

The Championship allows youth to compete against their peers in a format similar to the Olympic games and other international senior championships. Canadian dressage athletes will compete in the juniors (14-18), young riders (16-21) and U25 divisions.
​

The dressage team will be supported by Chef d’Équipe, Jillian Taylor-Mancusi.
Canada is heading into NAYC 2024 after a strong showing last year where the U25 athletes captured team gold and Claire Robinson and Glamour Boy won gold in the inaugural U25 Grand Prix Freestyle Championship.

“Canada is rich with up-and-coming talent in the sport of dressage,” shared Taylor-Mancusi. “This is evident by the group of athletes representing the Maple Leaf at this year’s NAYC. We have a strong group of veterans to lead the way and show the ropes to our rookies! NAYC is the perfect venue to give our youth a taste of representing their country on the international stage.”

The Canadian NAYC Dressage Teams are proudly supported by Leveza, LC Taylor, Mad Barn, Ride Every Stride, Nexolia, Mango's Magic Creations, and the Government of Canada.
