2026 AERC Young Rider Championship

05/06/2026

Congratulations to Mia Moore on her finish in this year’s Young Rider Championship!✨

Huge weekend for this team 🔥

Congratulations to Mia Moore on an outstanding performance at the Biltmore Challenge Endurance Ride!

On Friday, Mia completed the demanding 65-mile ride, then came right back on Saturday to take on the 75-mile 2026 AERC Young Rider Championship—and finished strong 💪

Even more impressive? She did it all alongside her 23-year-old endurance partner, Riven—a true testament to thoughtful strategy, horsemanship, and a program built for longevity.

Mia is also the 2022 AERC Rookie of the Year, where she was awarded her custom Specialized Saddles Eurolight—one she continues to compete in today.

Rides like this are what endurance is all about—grit, partnership, and putting the horse first every mile of the way.

We’re proud to be part of your journey, Mia 👏
