The funding from USEA’s Equine Medical Research Fund is generating some RESULTS! Since 2013, every starter at a USEA event pays $1 towards equine medical research. This fee was created in order to address that underfunding of equine research in the United States.
I've never met an eventer without an opinion. We are all obsessed with our horses and our sport and will freely provide our thoughts on eventing-related topics to anyone who will listen. But, too few of us direct this enthusiasm to the sport's most crucial feedback mechanisms - the event and officials evaluations.
