A Statement from Rebecca Farm and the Broussard Family
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.
