Who are Juniors and Young Riders?
    For ECRDA, riders are considered Junior Young Riders (JR/YRs) until the end of the competition season in which they reach 21. For USEF, individuals are eligible as Juniors until the end of the competition season in which they reach the age of 18. Individuals are eligible as Young Riders from the beginning of the calendar year in which they reach the age of 16 until the end of the competition season in which they reach 21.
   At this time ECRDA treats these two age groups as one category for both schooling shows and year-end awards.
Since we have a large number of JR/YRs in our membership, show organizers are strongly encouraged to divide all classes so that JR/YRs are not competing against adults.

Who are Adults?
   All riders over the age of 21 are considered adults, unless over 50 and specified as "Masters."

Who are Masters Riders?
    Riders over 50 may elect to join as Masters Members. Masters riders are included with senior riders for Year End Awards. In addition, in all divisions with at least one Masters rider, a Champion ribbon will be awarded to the Masters rider with the highest median among all Masters riders in that division.
