The first Hylofit USEA Classic Series Three-Day Event of the 2019 season took place last month at the Fresno County Horse Park (FCHP) Horse Trials in Fresno, California. While five-star riders were busy galloping over the bluegrass at the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event, riders at FCHP were experiencing the thrill of endurance day, complete with the roads and tracks and steeplechase phases of the old long format three-day events.

The fourth annual USEA Intercollegiate Eventing Championship kicks off tomorrow morning at the Chattahoochee Hills Horse Trials in Fairburn, Georgia. There are a total of 22 teams from 16 schools entered to compete for the 2019 Championship title.

It’s time to meet the teams of the 2019 USEA Intercollegiate Eventing Championship! A total of 90 horses, 16 schools, and 23 teams will be competing at the 2019 USEA Intercollegiate Eventing Championship on May 18-19 at Chattahoochee Hills Horse Trials.

The 2019 USEA Intercollegiate Eventing Championships take place this weekend, May 18-19, at the Chattahoochee Hills Horse Trials in Fairburn, Georgia, and eventing teams from up and down the East Coast and as far west as Texas will be making the trek to Georgia to compete.

The fourth annual USEA Intercollegiate Eventing Team Championships kick off next weekend, May 18-19 at the Chattahoochee Hills Horse Trials in Fairburn, Georgia. Since its inception, the USEA Intercollegiate Championships have grown from 37 competitors and 10 schools and teams to nearly 90 competitors and over 22 teams competing for the championship title.

All three jumped clear on cross-country and all three finished within the top 20, so how did the three YEH graduates do at the 2019 Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event? They did excellently. Considered ‘a talent search,’ the USEA YEH program was designed to identify young horses that possess the talent and disposition to excel in the upper levels of eventing.

What should students pack for the 2019 USEA Intercollegiate Eventing Championships? School spirit, support, and sportsmanship! These intangible qualities can come in various forms, from a miniature pony mascot to matching saddle pads.

It’s quality over quantity this year at the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event in Lexington, Kentucky for the USEA Young Event Horse (YEH) program. Three YEH graduates will be making the trip to the bluegrass state to compete in the toughest event in North America. From babies to the big league, Tsetserleg, Indy 500, and PFun are horses who started their eventing careers in USEA’s YEH program.

By having phases A-D on endurance day, the United States is the only country to still offer steeplechase and roads & tracks through the Hylofit USEA Classic Series. With more phases, different timing, a vet box, and a horse inspection, Classic Series Three-Day Events are quite different than regular horse trials.

Attention young horse competitors! The United States Eventing Association (USEA) recently added a list of 2019 Young Event Horse (YEH) Championships Qualified Horses and a list of 2019 Future Event Horse (FEH) Championships Qualified Horses to the website. These two lists will be updated twice per month throughout the 2019 competition season as YEH and FEH qualifiers are completed.
