Consensus (2000 - 2018)
Julie Norman’s Consensus, the 18-year-old Oldenburg gelding (Contucci x Miss Me Not 2823), passed away during the cross-country phase of competition in the Open Preliminary division at the Ocala Winter I Horse Trials on February 9, 2018. A necropsy determined that “Thomas” suffered an aortic rupture while on cross-country.
Norman took Consensus to his first horse trials in the spring of 2009. Over the course of their partnership, the pair completed numerous CIC3* and CCI3* events, including Richland Park, Red Hills International, and Fair Hill International, and contested the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event CCI4* in 2014 and 2015.
At the end of 2015, Norman passed the reins to 16-year-old Adriana Beruvides. Together the pair completed Beruvide’s first Preliminary level event in June of 2016 and placed ninth in the CCI* at the Ocala International 3-Day Festival of Eventing in April of 2017. They also competed at the 2017 North American Junior/Young Rider Championships and the USEA American Eventing Championships. The pair was fifth in the Area V Championships at Holly Hill Farm in November of 2017.
The USEA would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to Julie Norman, Adriana Beruvides, and all who knew and loved Consensus.

Jeffrey Lesitsky: USEA’s Volunteer of the Month
Jeffrey Lesitsky was always intrigued by horses, but growing up Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he didn’t have much access to them. “My only experience was what I saw on television,” he said. “I saw pictures of Secretariat when he won the Triple Crown, but I was only 10 years old and I didn't really understand what was going on. Secretariat was a beautiful horse and I wanted to learn more about them – later I learned Secretariat and I have the same birthday, but I'm seven years his senior!”
