* In 2020 the Event Riders of North America (ERAofNA) that previously controlled this award joined with the USEA and ceased existence as a stand alone entity. In 2021 the USEA Foundation took over ownership of the Liz Cochran Memorial Groom’s Award and in 2022 the Foundation achieved the long term goal of ensuring this award was endowed for the next 20 years thanks to the generous contribution of the Lufkin Family Foundation.
