British Columbia Young Riders Dressage is a non-profit group whose goal is to develop and promote a high standard of achievement among young dressage riders, ages 12 to 25, in BC.

BCYR Dressage offers speakers, educational programs and riding development clinics for all levels of riders, provides practical and financial assistance to riders achieving qualifying scores to attend the North American Young Rider Championships and other national or international events, and provides social and networking opportunities for members to encourage camaraderie, team building and good sportsmanship.

The group is based in British Columbia’s lower mainland with meetings and activities centered in this area.

Dressage Show Bake Sales

At every show this summer we will be doing, once again, our bake sales as well as having Organic Coffee to sell as fundraisers.  The coffee  will be sold by the one pound bag and coffee sampling will be available at the BCYR Hospitality Tent.  If you will be attending shows this summer, we would appreciate you donating your baked goods.  Volunteers are also needed to man the bake sale throughout the shows.  Thank you for helping with our fundraiser event.


 

BCYR Hospitality Tent

At every show this season, the BCYR Tent will offer complimentary water, fruit and bake sale items to our members.  Our tent is a great place to hang out with each other, sharing show stories and helping to sell our delicious baked goods.  Make sure you drop by and visit the tent!


Volunteers are needed throughout the summer for Hunter/Jumper shows.

Dog 'n Pony has donated a pair of Jimmy Open Front and Hind Leg Jump Boots.  We would like to do a raffle at the Hunter/Jumper shows throughout the summer selling tickets.  The draw will be done at the end of the summer.  Please let Jacqueline Sauve know if you are able to go to some of the shows during the summer to sell these raffle tickets.


 

BCYR is going GREEN

A new fundraiser this year will be a bottle recycling program at all the shows.  We will have designated recycling bins for pop bottles, water bottles and cans.
