Rebecca Broussard International and National Developing Riders' Grants

2019 Rebecca Broussard International Developing Rider Grant Recipient Andrea Baxter and Indy 500

2021 will be the last year the Rebecca Broussard International and National Developing Riders’ Grants will be offered. The committee would like to thank Jerome Broussard and the entire Broussard family for supporting these valuable grants for so many years.

Interviews for this year’s International and National Developing Rider’s Grants will be held at The Event at Rebecca Farm and will be limited to riders entered in both the CCI4*-L and the CCI4*-S. For those riders entered, please sign up for your interview at the show office upon arrival. Interviews will take place Tuesday through Thursday before your dressage tests.

Unlike previous years, stipends to assist with travel to the event are not being made available in 2021.

As of this date, 18 riders have benefited from these incredibly generous grants, and this year will see that number rise to 20. Recipients have made their mark at the highest levels of the sport with many going on to compete internationally. Many could be seen in action at the Kentucky Three-day Event 5* this year, and we congratulate all of them for their achievements.

While the developing rider grants are coming to an end, the Broussard family has asked the committee to explore other exciting grant opportunities for the coming years, so please keep an eye out for these to be announced.

The entire sport and our riders have benefited immensely from the kindness shown by the late Rebecca Broussard and her husband Jerome, as well as all the family. They have done so much to develop and grow the sport and for that, we are eternally thankful.

Lou Leslie,

Chair

The Rebecca Broussard International Developing Rider’s Committee

Eventing 101: The Show Secretary is Your New Best Friend. Here’s How to Keep Them Happy

Familiarizing yourself with the key players at each horse trial is an important step to your success at your next competition. One of those important figures is the show secretary. Think of the show secretary as the mastermind behind most of the organizational efforts related to each horse trial. They manage entries, the show schedule, ride times, stabling, and so much more. Without the hard work of the show secretary and their office staff, a horse trial simply would not be able to operate.
