NEEC Celebrates Juniors In Their Last Year

Each year the New England Equitation Championships pays special tribute to riders who are in their last year of competition as Junior riders in a variety of ways.

Our annual Junior Celebration Dinner, on the Friday evening of the competition weekend, brings together juniors, their families and trainers to…. Cocktails and dinner are followed by awards, results from the horsemanship exam, and the always anticipated Junior video.
