The 2013 Leaderboard Point System and Eligibility Requirements are now updated on the USEA website. To access the information directly you can click here or go to Competitions -> Awards -> Resources -> Leaderboard Point System.
The major change from previous years is that a horse or rider can move up a level, but will still retain the leaderboard points earned at the lower level. For example: if you are on the Junior Training Rider leaderboard with 45 points and you move up and complete more than two Preliminary level competitions, then you will keep your 45 points on the Junior Training Rider leaderboard. But, after completing more than two Preliminary level competitions, any further points earned at the training level, will not be applied to the Training level leaderboard.
The point chart has also been updated to reflect the Novice Three-Day and Beginner Novice Three-Day point values. Points for the BN3D and N3D are the same as a CIC* while a T3D and P3D are equivalent to a CCI*.

Growing up as a self-proclaimed “free-range child” on her family’s Dragonfire Farm in California, Taylor McFall beelined her way toward horses from the time she could walk. That idyllic childhood helped cement Taylor’s love for horses at an early age.
Whether competing on a U25 team or riding in a senior division, an exciting weekend of sport was had by all at VHC Eventing, presented by Capital Square. With over 450 riders flocking to the historic venue, all three phases ran concurrently with both sides of the cross country course in use and multiple rings in session. This weekend’s winners rose above the fray to take home well-earned blue ribbons.
