Vero Beach, Florida - The Professional Riders Organization, Equiventures LLC and What's Up Productions LLC have recently explored forming a joint venture between the parties for the purpose of producing online broadcasts for the PRO Tour Series. Each entity brought it's respective strengths to the table to start to develop this potential partnership by planning and producing a good online broadcast for Plantation Field International Horse Trials. PRO brought the PRO Tour Series, which was created by our membership in 2010, as well as the good will associated with the Professional Riders Organization. Equiventures provided their commercial expertise to this endeavor and What's Up Productions provided it's expertise in video and broadcast workflows.
At this time, however, PRO has decided to go in a different direction as we move forward with PRO TV and the PRO Tour Series. Each of these parties will pursue their independent paths moving towards our mutual desire to benefit the sport of eventing and all of its participants.
PRO TV will continue online broadcasts on the PRO TV Livestream channel, http://new.livestream.com/PROTV Media players will be embedded on event websites. A Livestream App for TV, iPhone, iPad and Android can also be downloaded from the iTunes Store and Google Play. Follow the events on the PRO TV channel to receive automatic updates on any schedule changes.
The Professional Riders Organization plans a full broadcast schedule of the 2015 PRO Tour Series. Sponsored segments and in-stream video advertising is available. Interested parties should contact the Professional Riders Organization.
The Godshall Accessibility Report, created by the United States Eventing Association’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee, aims to honor Christopher Godshall’s legacy by addressing accessibility challenges within the sport of eventing. Inspired by Godshall’s own struggles with mobility due to Myasthenia Gravis, the report underscores the importance of creating inclusive environments for riders, spectators, volunteers, and others involved in the sport.
There is so much to be thankful for this holiday season: our horses, family, barn besties, coaches, grooms... the list goes on and on! However, we would be remiss not to reflect on how grateful we are for our supporters, too. This Black Friday weekend, consider shopping with the companies that support the sport of eventing year-round—our USEA Sponsors!

As eventing competitors, you know how demanding the sport can be. Three phases (often in one day!) means there’s quite a lot to think about, tons to prepare for, and there are a lot of people involved in making everything run smoothly. A key player in making any USEA-recognized event a success is the Technical Delegate (TD).
