The United States Eventing Association (USEA) is pleased to announce that the new Emerging Athletes 21 program will launch this summer in July and August, 2022, and applications will open to USEA Young Riders next week. The purpose of the USEA Emerging Athletes 21 program (EA21) is to create a pipeline for potential team riders by identifying and developing young talent, improving horsemanship and riding skills, and training and improving skills and consistency.

Five regional clinics will take place this summer under the USEA EA21 program. The eastern regional clinics will take place at Morven Park International Equestrian Center (Leesburg, Va.) on July 25-26, and at Stable View Farm (Aiken, S.C.) on the same dates of July 25-26. The central regional clinic will take place at Holly Hill Farm (Benton, La.) August 1-2, and the western regional clinics will take place at Aspen Farms (Yelm, Wash.) August 15-16, immediately followed by the clinic at Twin Rivers Ranch (Paso Robles, Calif.) August 17-18.

Each regional EA21 clinic will have a maximum capacity of 12 riders who will be chosen by selectors once applications have been received. After the regional clinics have concluded, a select group of talented riders will be chosen from the regional clinics to participate in the national camp with EA21 Director of Coaching, David O’Connor in January, 2023.

Applications will open to USEA Young Rider program members aged 21 and under next week, so keep an eye on the USEA website and social media for updates.
