Nicolas Hinze, who developed the CourseWalk App and the new Area II Volunteer Incentive Program website has just created a new app to display eventing results. This app was developed in response to a request by David O'Connor, who wanted to have U.S. scores presented in similar way as in Europe. Some of the new features that mirror the European scoring system include: displaying country flags, allowing user sorting and greater details on dressage scores.
The software developed by Hinze simply takes results from a scoring software and reprocesses it in order to provide all of these features. The program/app has been developed so that it could use the information from any existing scoring software. This was used very successfully at Middleburg H.T the weekend if June 11 and at the Seneca Valley Pony Club H.T. on June 17. It will also be used for the upcoming Nations Cup CICO3* at Great Meadow, including for teams.
The features of the scoring system include:
1. Click on any column and it will sort by that column (e.g. place after dressage, after show jumping, alphabetically by name).
2. Click on a dressage score and it will show all dressage test movements and the scores assigned by each judge.
Clicking a dressage score will give you a breakdown of the scores for each movement of the test.
3. Click on XC jump penalty and it will show the jumps where the rider had any problems.
Clicking on the cross-country jump penalties will give you a breakdown of where the pair had problems.
4. Click on XC and you will see the detailed XC results for all riders
5. A search mechanism to find anything. For example if you want all WD you can search for that, or all rides by an individual such as Phillip Dutton. The search component is still being modified.
6. If it is an FEI competition, the competitor's flag will be displayed.
7. If there are teams, click on the team tab and team results are displayed.

What’s a Hunter Pace? The Sherwood Forest Equestrian Center's Hunter Pace is a cross-country-style course around Sherwood Forest over various natural obstacles/terrain. The course ends with a final treat for riders to take in stunning views of Mt. Hood with a loop through the old Far Hill Farms field. The beginning of the course will first start with a warm-up loop around show jumping obstacles in the outdoor ring at Sherwood Forest and then riders will continue directly onto the course. Sign up as a solo rider, pair, or team.
Claire Allen remembers when she was 11 years old, having just made the switch from the hunter/jumper ring to three-day eventing. She told her new eventing trainer that her goal was to one day compete in the United States Equestrian Federation’s Eventing Young Rider Championships.
As he was finishing tacking up his horse in preparation to navigate the cross-country course at the 2024 Twin Rivers Summer Horse Trials, James Alliston expressed concern about navigating the 101 Freeway. That’s because as soon as he crossed the finish line aboard Intermediate level winner Addyson (Ampere x Nickerbocker) at 10:38 a.m. on Saturday—his fifth cross-country round of the morning with three at Preliminary and two at Intermediate—the West Coast-based five-star rider had to drive 185 miles on the 101 Freeway from Twin Rivers Ranch in Paso Robles, California, to San Francisco International Airport to catch a 4:35 p.m. flight to Frankfurt, Germany.
There is so much more to proper grooming than keeping your horse picture-perfect for the horse inspection. Good grooming practices are critical to proper horse management, no matter if you are planning for your next FEI appearance or your Starter level debut. To help you maximize your knowledge of grooming practices, we opened up the opportunity for USEA members to submit any questions they might have on our Instagram and Facebook stories. In this week's episode, Host Nicole Brown sits down with three of the highest-regarded grooms in this industry, Max Corcoran, Emma Ford, and Stephanie Simpson, and asks them all of your questions and more to help you perfect the art of grooming.
