United States Eventing Association

Since 1999, more than 50 horses and people have been inducted into the United States Eventing Association (USEA) Eventing Hall of Fame.

Induction into the Hall of Fame is the highest honor awarded within the sport of eventing in the United States. Those invited to join the Hall of Fame have truly made a difference in the sport of eventing. Hall of Fame members have included past Association presidents, volunteers, riders, founding fathers, course designers, officials, organizers, horses, horse owners, and coaches.

The USEA Board of Governors will vote on the final inductees into the Hall of Fame at their mid-year meeting in August. Those chosen will be honored at a formal induction ceremony at the Hall of Fame Gala at the 2026 USEA Annual Meeting & Convention, held in Arlington, Virginia, from Dec. 11-13. The Hall of Fame Gala is held every four years at Convention.

The USEA’s Eventing Hall of Fame Class of 2026 will be announced throughout the year as inductees are presented with their invitation in person at events meaningful to their contributions. The first invitation was given on July 16 to Jerome Broussard at The Event at Rebecca Farm in Kalispell, Montana.

Broussard joins his late wife, Rebecca “Becky” Broussard, in the Hall of Fame. She was inducted posthumously in 2015, five years after she lost her battle with breast cancer.

Jerome has been a valued supporter of the sport of eventing in the U.S., most notably through his and his wife’s creation and support of The Event at Rebecca Farm. Alongside his family, he has helped sustain one of the country’s premier competitions, which serves riders from grassroots through the highest levels of international competition.

Jerome has also played a key role in supporting the Rebecca Broussard Developing Rider Grants, which provide critical funding and opportunities for emerging athletes to gain experience and progress in the sport. His early philanthropic leadership, including foundational contributions, helped shape the USEA Foundation into the granting organization it is today. As a horse owner, he has contributed directly to the success of riders competing at national and international levels.

A former member of the USEA Foundation Board of Trustees, he has had a lasting influence on the sport through both philanthropy and active participation.

“As many of you know, Rebecca ‘Becky’ Broussard was deservedly inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2015. Her passion, vision and generosity changed our sport forever and her legacy continues to inspire us all," said USEA CEO Rob Burk last night. “But tonight isn’t about Rebecca. Tonight is about another individual whose quiet leadership, generosity and unwavering commitment have had an equally lasting impact on the future of eventing.

“Jerome Broussard, for decades, you have helped make Rebecca Farm one of the most beloved and important competitions in North America. You have invested in riders, horses, and the future of our sport; not for recognition, but because you believed in giving others opportunities to succeed.”

Burk acknowledged the Rebecca Broussard Developing Rider Grants, Jerome’s leadership with the USEA Foundation, and “your generosity as a philanthropist and horse owner, and your steadfast commitment to this community. The U.S. Eventing Hall of Fame exists to recognize individuals whose contributions leave our sport stronger than they found it. Jerome, your contributions have done exactly that."
