Rebecca Farm and the Broussard Family have been made aware of allegations of horse abuse regarding one of the 2023 Rebecca Broussard Developing Rider Grant recipients.
The Broussard Family has committed to investing in the sport of eventing and its athletes for many years and we are deeply shocked and saddened by this information. We do not condone horse abuse in any capacity. The actions committed by the rider in question in no way align with the values the Broussard family believes are synonymous with Eventing and horsemanship.
At the time of any rider’s application for a Rebecca Broussard Developing Rider Grant, if there are any open investigations or noted violations of any kind (such as a Yellow Card), the applicant is immediately deemed ineligible. At the time this grant was administered through the USEA Foundation in December of 2023, no information had been made available to us that would disqualify this rider in any way from being a recipient.
Would you and your horse like to dip your toes in the sport of eventing without the stress of starting with a recognized event? Consider participating in the USEA New Event Horse Program. The program was created to be an introduction to the sport of eventing for both horse and rider no matter the horse’s age. View the 2025 NEH Calendar here.
The USEA is saddened to share the recent passing of both Richard and Susan Farmer.
The United States Eventing Association, Inc. (USEA) is excited to announce the addition of the USEA Young Rider (YR) Mentorship to the 2025 USEA Intercollegiate & Interscholastic Eventing Championships on Friday, May 2 through Sunday, May 4. Originally established at the USEF Eventing Young Rider Championships, the Young Rider Mentorship Program will be offered for the first time for our collegiate members and gives participants the opportunity to shadow eventing officials and learn more about the behind-the-scenes professions that make our sport possible.
