South Woodstock, VT – The Green Mountain Horse Association will host its third Future Event Horse, Young Event Horse and New Event Horse Test on June 21, 2014 at the newly revitalized facility in South Woodstock, VT.
The program will offer owners the opportunity to show their young stock to the eventing community at GMHA’s low stress environment. Divisions will include yearlings through five year olds as well as a new category defined by United States Eventing Association called New Event Horse.
Yearlings through three year olds will be shown in hand and judged on conformation and gait. The four and five year olds and the New Event Horses will be judged in hand for conformation, in a dressage test and over a jumping course which includes stadium and cross-country jumps. Judges’ comments on the horse’s strengths will help owners understand the horse’s suitability for eventing.
Opening date to enter the event is April 29, 2014. Join the fun - see many fine young equine animals on display.

After a very successful inaugural year, the 2025 USEA Interscholastic Eventing League (IEL) Championship is quickly approaching. Grab your fellow barn mates, classmates, Pony Club members, and friends in grades 5th through 12th to create an IEL Club today. The best way for members to prepare for this exciting event is to participate in IEL Team Challenges held at venues across eight different USEA Areas throughout the year.
Due to the response at the 2024 USEA Intercollegiate & Interscholastic Eventing Championships at Stable View in Aiken, South Carolina, the decision has been made to add an extra day of competition to the 2025 event schedule. The new dates for the 2025 USEA Intercollegiate & IEL Championships are Friday, May 2 through Sunday, May 4. Click here to view the event omnibus now.

Spectators could be forgiven for thinking they were seeing double during the victory gallop in the Novice Junior 15 & Under division at the 2024 USEA American Eventing Championships (AEC) presented by Nutrena Feeds. Two identical flea-bitten ponies were galloping around, second- and third-place ribbons streaming in the breeze, under the command of 13-year-old Kendal Fansler of Clarksville, Maryland.
