The Professional Riders Organization was founded in 2009 by the top professional Three-Day Event riders in the United States. PRO's mission is to raise the profile of the sport of Eventing in the United States by working with event organizers with the objective of bringing the excitement of renowned international competitions to US riders and spectators. PRO is proud to sponsor the Advanced Division of the 2010 Millbrook Horse Trials. The Advanced Division is part of the 2010 PRO Tour Event Series encompassing seven Advanced and Three-Star level competitions throughout the United States. Riders and horses earn prize money and accrue points on the PRO HAYGAIN Horse Leader Board and PRO Rider's Leader Board with the goal of winning the year-end trophies and prize money bonus pool.

Pro and Young Riders Team Relay Race

Come watch and support Young Riders on Friday at the Welcome party and Sunday, after the Intermediate Stadium Jumping.

Join us at the Welcome Party on Friday night, 6pm for a Calcutta like auction of the PRO and Young Rider Teams. Going to the highest bidders, the teams compete on Sunday in the exciting Three-Legged race and athletically challenging old fashion Sack race. All funds raised going to support the Area I Young Riders program.

The Area I Young Riders program is offered through the USEA to all riders twenty-one years of age and younger and includes riders of all levels. Our hope is to generate involvement early on, helping our lower level riders to learn the skills critical to the sport and realize their goals. Some will choose to go on to upper levels and achieve a position on the Championship Team and go to the North American Junior and Young Riders Championship. The Young Rider program offers its members the opportunity to join young riders from other parts of Area 1 and participate in special teams, camps, clinics, events including the PRO - Young Rider Team Relay Race here at the Millbrook Horse Trials.
