Collecting Gaits Farm To Sponsor Junior Dressage Championship

Collecting Gaits Farm has signed on to become a sponsor of the USAE Junior Dressage Team Championship. The championship, created as part of a movement to encouraging outstanding young riders, will be held during Dressage at Devon, in Devon PA, September 23 – 28.

Riders, ages 14 – 18, qualified for the USAE Junior Team Dressage Championship by competing at USA Equestrian/United States Dressage recognized competitions from August 1, 2002 through July 31, 2003. Competitors must submit an Application of Intent and a minimum of five qualifying scores to USA Equestrian. Of these five scores two must be FEI Junior Team Tests, two FEI Junior Individual Tests and one USA Equestrian Fourth Level Test 1. The top five scores for each horse and rider combination will be calculated for the final averages. Each horse and rider combination must achieve an overall average score of 60.000% or higher. Once the riders are selected, they are placed on teams in a handicapped format so that when the members of a team average their individual scores together, they are of similar percentages. During the competition, team members will ride both the FEI Junior Team and the FEI Junior Individual tests. Each team will drop the lowest score of each test and accumulated percentages will determine the team placings.

Collecting Gaits Farm, owned by Jeff and Shereen Fuqua, is located in a prestigious suburb of Atlanta, GA, and is the training base for Karen Lipp, an accomplished rider and one of few Americans to have competed in last year’s prestigious Young Horse Championships in Verden, Germany.
