For many of us, our experience with eventing is limited to being a rider, a competitor, or a fan.

The Puzzle Comes Together at EA21 West Regional Clinic
When eventers are asked why they love the sport so much, one of the most common responses is the three different phases and the unique challenges they all bring.

Show, don’t tell was the theme of the day for coach Emily Mastervich on the first day of the USEA Emerging Athletes U21 (EA21) West I Regional Clinic held at Twin Rivers Ranch. So often riders get caught up in managing every moment that they lose sight of what’s next, especially in the dressage.

Imagination At Play on Day 2 of EA21 National Camp
There are three phases before reaching the level of mastery. The first is technique, or the how. The second is theory, or the why. The third is instinct, or the do. When all three come together, the boundaries of what is possible are limited only by the imagination.
Define Your Terms on Day 1 of the 2025-2026 EA21 National Camp
Many of us may remember from our school days the saying: “define your terms.” In math class, in science class, and maybe even in English class, we were told to introduce the definition of the technical language we were using, never assuming it was too obvious or basic.
