We are not looking for the best or fastest or the most beautiful horse we want people who best represent our club. All we want from this competition is for you to learn more and have A LOT OF FUN!!!!

Some factors that will help us choose our team members:

1. We have made an application form (see link for application below)for you to fill out to tell us about yourself, your horse and equine activities. Including a small 250 word paragraph (if under the age of 8 you can write a minimum 3 sentences) with why you would make a good candidate for our team this could include your previous history with riding, your accomplishments, ideas for fundraising and other things you could bring to the team, as well as a photo of you and your horse.
2. You will have to be a NRR member and have to participate in at least 2 NRR shows English/Performance shows are May 12, June 9 2018
   Western Games shows are May 13, June 10, July 14 2018
3. You will be required to participate in all the fundraising for the youth team (seeing as all the money is going towards team jackets, stable blankets and extra expenses to do with the trip)
4. Once the June shows are over the youth executive will meet and decide whom the members will be representing NRR at Paris youth tournament soon after the team will be notified.
5. Once the team is decided we will be trying to get the team together every month to do some team building activities (including trail rides, movie night, horse play day and other fun activities) so that when we show up at the tournament we are not just a team we are a North River Riders family.
6. A payment of $75.00 is to be submitted with the application if your horse requires a stall for the duration of the weekend at the Paris Fairgrounds.
7. Application deadline is June 11 2018
