Are you under age 21?

Then welcome to the NDA Juniors and Young Riders!
Juniors are ages 14-18 and Young Riders are ages 16-21. (If you're 16, 17, or 18, then you can just pick one!)

NDA wants our youth members to keep learning and bonding with your horses and expanding your dressage journey, but mostly we want you to HAVE FUN.​ That's why we work hard to provide lots of education, social events, awards and opportunities specifically for you. 

Check out the calendar to see what Junior events are coming up, and make sure to say hi to each other at horse shows or participate in clinics together. If you have questions, feel free to ask your junior representative. And if you've got ideas for fun junior events, fundraising, or anything else, we want to hear about it, so please let us know!

Your Junior Representative

Miya Higgins
Miya is your junior representative again this year for 2018. She sits on the NDA Board of Directors and is the voice for all NDA juniors and young riders. So if you have any issues or topics you'd like her to discuss with the board on your behalf, please contact her. Also contact her if you have an idea for a great social event or fundraiser, and she will work with you to make it happen.

Or, just feel free to drop her a note and say hi!
