United States Eventing Association

The 7th annual Land Rover/USEA American Eventing Championships are only 75 days away—the USEA and Chattahoochee Hills Eventing have an exciting competition planned from September 9-12. With over $100,000 in cash and prizes on the line, two mandatory outings for team riders, a variety of vendors and sponsors for your shopping pleasure, and prime viewing opportunities for spectators, this event is sure to be our best yet.

Competitor Incentives

Chattahoochee Hills is offering a $100 early-bird discount to all competitors who get their entries in during the first two weeks after opening date. Plus, if you scratch your entry before closing date, you’ll get your entire entry and stabling fee returned to you (minus a $25 office fee). If you scratch your entry after closing date, you’ll still get your entry fee back, but still have to pay stabling and $25 office fee. Either way you look at it, Chatt Hills is keeping the competitors in mind, and working to make it affordable for anyone who is qualified to attend this prestigious event.

This brand-new event is rolling out the red carpet for the AEC competitors with state-of-the-art permanent stalls and top-class temporary stalls for your horse’s comfort, numerous easily accessible wash racks, experienced and helpful officials and organizers to answer all your questions, and gorgeous dressage and jumping rings with the best footing available.

But of course, one of the most anticipated parts of the AEC is the cross-country course! Course designer and organizer Ritch Temple and his crew of talented course builders have been working around the clock to make sure that the Chatt Hills courses are championship-level. Competitors’ feedback on the courses has been phenomenal, but the best courses are yet to come. We’ll find out in September what exciting new changes Ritch and his crew have in store!

Cash and Prizes
