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.
About the USEA American Eventing Championships
The USEA American Eventing Championships (AEC) presented by Nutrena Feeds is the pinnacle of the sport for the national levels. Held annually, the best junior, adult amateur, and professional competitors gather to vie for national championship titles at every level from Beginner Novice to Advanced. This ultimate test of horse and rider draws hundreds of horses and riders from around the country to compete for fabulous prizes, a piece of the substantial prize money, and the chance to be named the National Champion at their respective levels.
here was a dramatic finish to cross-country day at the MARS Badminton Horse Trials when the top two riders, Oliver Townend, with Paul and Diana Ridgeon's mare Cooley Rosalent, and Ros Canter with Lordships Graffalo, were both awarded 15 penalties for going the wrong side of a fence flag.
The Yanmar America Tryon International Spring Three-Day Event presented by Tow & Collect kicked off Thursday with dressage in the International Stadium and Rings 6/7, continuing into Friday.
Oliver Townend, who has never made any secret of his desire for another MARS Badminton Horse Trials victory, is now at the head of the leaderboard at the conclusion of the dressage phase.
