Information for the 2013 Young Adult 'Brentina Cup' Championships

  • The 2013 U.S. Dressage Festival of Champions presented by Dutta Corp will be held October 8-12, 2013 at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, KY.
  • The Young Adult "Brentina Cup" program is named after the legendary U.S. dressage mare and is graciously supported by her owners Parry and Peggy Thomas. The Brentina Cup program was developed to assist and encourage U.S. Young Riders in making the transition to Senior Grand Prix competitor. Riders between the ages of 16 and 25 are eligible to participate and compete in the National Brentina Cup Championships.
  • Qualifying period for the 2013 National Championships begins August 1, 2012 and is proposed to end August 30, 2013.
  • New for 2013: The USEF Young Adult "Brentina Cup" Test (current edition) must be used for qualification in national USEF/NAJYRC Qualifying Competitions. Only one score will count from each qualifying competition for the national ranking list. In addition to the three required qualifying scores, at least one score must be earned in the FEI Young Rider Grand Prix 16-25 Test. This will be verified by the USEF Dressage Department through the USDF Score Check and this score will not be counted for the ranking list or your overall average unless submitted as a CDI score. NOTE: the FEI Young Rider Grand Prix 16-25 Test score may be earned at the same national competition where a qualifying score in the USEF Young Adult 'Brentina Cup' Test is earned and may also be earned in an FEI Test of Choice class.
