By Kaleigh Collett - USEA Staff

The 2023 USEA Intercollegiate Eventing Championship at Tryon International Equestrian Center is just a few days away, which means it is time to meet the teams! A total of 93 competitors, 13 schools, and 25 teams will be competing at the 2023 USEA Intercollegiate Eventing Championship on Friday, May 26 through Sunday, May 28.

Auburn University will be on the hunt to defend their 2022 Championship title with three carefully selected teams covering 10 entries. The University of Kentucky will once again field eight teams with 28 entries, while the University of Georgia isn't fair behind in size with 5 teams including 18 entries. Transylvania University, James Madison University, Randolph-Macon College and University of Louisville will return after missing the 2022 Championship, while Baylor University and University of Tennessee - Knoxville will be making their Championship debuts.

Before the action starts, find out which championship competitors have had run-ins with celebrities and who is most likely to move to Europe after college in the Meet the Teams preview below.

The USEA would like to thank Bates Saddles, Kerrits, Horse & Country, U.S. Equestrian, WeRideTogether, and World Equestrian Brands for sponsoring the USEA Intercollegiate Eventing Program.

Nazila Hejazi and her 20-year-old Missouri Fox Trotter mare, Tessa, may have made for an unconventional pair at the USEA Area VI Championships, held in October at Galway Downs (Temecula, California) but they didn’t let that hold them back.
