It’s been a big season with events around the country like The Fork, Rebecca Farm, and Galway Downs getting bigger and better with each go round. But everything carries more weight this year since the World Equestrian Games will be taking this place this September and October for the first time on American soil. And the 2010 Land Rover/USEA American Eventing Championships will be no different.
This September the AEC will take place at Chattahoochee Hills in Fairburn, Georgia. This new equestrian paradise offers the best of everything from stabling to cross-country to grand prix rings. Even the vistas are incomparable.
Log onto Three Days Three Ways to hear blogger Courtney Young give a sneak peek of some of the exciting things planned for this year’s AEC, which is sure to be one of the biggest and best we’ve ever had. Courtney will also be on-site during the AEC, helping the USEA provide fun, behind-the-scenes interviews with all kinds of folks who’ll be at the Championships: riders who’ve travelled from across the country, sponsors showcasing their amazing products, organizers and officials who work to make the event run smoothly, and of course the media, who are there covering every piece of the action.

The USEA Young Event Horse (YEH) Program was created with the mission of identifying young horses that possess the talent and disposition to excel in the uppermost levels of eventing. In 2024, YEH graduates participated in major events around the world, including the Paris Olympics, the FEI Eventing Nations Cups in Millstreet (Ireland) and Aachen (Germany), five-star events in the U.S. and England, and the FEI WBFSH Eventing World Championships (France).

Somehow we are a quarter of the way through the 21st century. Finally, more and more eventing organizers and professionals are embracing digital tools to improve efficiency while increasing access to the sport. Equestrian sports have historically relied heavily on paper forms and manual payment methods for entries.
