Area IV YR Virtual Teams
The Area IV Young Rider Virtual Team Competition encourages the next generation of riders to develop the habit of contributing to the sport of eventing through volunteer efforts, continuing education, competition and fundraising.
It is a great way to connect with other Young Riders in Area IV and provides an opportunity for Area IV Young Riders to work together to compete for year-end prizes.
The 2026 Area IV Young Rider Virtual Teams Coordinator is Christy Hagan. Please contact Christy with questions. mrscshagan@gmail.com
