New Qualifying Criteria for Junior and Young Rider
Eventing Championships

For 2006 and 2007, the FEI has agreed to the proposal put forward jointly by the United States and Canada regarding qualifications for the Junior and Young Rider Championships. A horse and rider must achieve a qualifying score(s) as a combination as follows:

Level	Qualifications
CH*-J	CCI* or 2 CIC*
CH** -YR	CCI** or 2 CIC** or CH* and CIC**

These qualifications will be implemented along with the individual Area Selection Procedures for riders wishing to qualify for an Area Junior or Young Rider team.
PLEASE NOTE: IN 2008 QUALIFICATIONS WILL BE ACCORDING TO THE REVISED FEI ARTICLE 506 IN WHICH HORSE AND RIDER MUST OBTAIN A QUALIFYING SCORE AT A CCI OF THE SAME LEVEL AS THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

About Eventing The Olympic sport of Eventing encompasses three separate tests: dressage, cross-country, and jumping held consecutively. Each test ridden by the rider/horse combination is scored individually but added together for the final results. The rider/horse combination with the fewest number of penalty points over the three days wins the competition.
