Make Your Travel Plans for the 2022 USEA American Eventing Championships at Rebecca Farm
Congratulations to all riders at the 2021 USEA American Eventing Championships presented by Nutrena Feeds. Montana Equestrian Events and The Event at Rebecca Farm hopes that everyone had a safe and successful week of top-class competition.
Next year, The Event at Rebecca Farm will be the host of the American Eventing Championships and we invite you to come to Montana and compete in the beautiful Flathead Valley at the gateway to the magnificent Glacier National Park.
The championships will take place over the Labor Day weekend and the tourist season in Montana will still be in full swing. As a result, it is essential that riders make hotel and car rental reservations immediately. This year, due to a massive influx of visitors, hotels were fully booked months ahead and there was not a car to be rented within a hundred-mile radius. You can always cancel in the event you are unable to travel to Montana next year, but we want to alert you to the need to make your reservations early to avoid disappointment and stress.
The Rebecca Farm Team are busy planning and preparing to provide the best experience for USEA members. Exciting and creative cross-country courses with the best footing anywhere in the world await you and your horse. The facilities and arenas are second to none and the welcome you will receive from the Broussard family, volunteers, and staff will make you feel you are coming home.
There is so much to do in the Flathead Valley so bring your entire family along with their fishing rods, hiking boots, and cameras and prepare to enjoy the great outdoors in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. But remember, make your reservations now! We can’t wait to see you in Montana at the 2022 AEC from August 30 - September 4.
