Updating your profile and horse’s profile on USEA online services is paramount for the USEA to accurately report information. The USEA database is where show organizers go to find information on horse and rider combinations, which means if it’s incorrect in the USEA database, it will also be incorrect at events. The USEA strongly encourages everyone to make sure their profile and their horse’s profile is complete and accurate. Find out how to update your information with USEA Online Services by clicking here.
Always remember to ‘Love the horse first, become a member second.’

After not running in 2020 and 2021, the MARS Bromont CCI Three-Day Event returned to the Bromont Olympic Equestrian Center in Quebec, Canada, in 2022. America's Jennie Saville (née Brannigan) and Twilightslastgleam won the CCI4*-L, as the chestnut Thoroughbred gelding (National Anthem x Royal Child) bred and owned by Nina Gardner moved up from eighth after dressage into the lead after cross-country with the fastest round on wet ground over the tracks designed by Derek di Grazia. Canada's Lindsay Traisnel and Bacyrouge, a bay Selle Français gelding (Mylord Carthago x Lelia) owned by Patricia Pearce, finished second, and they are among four from the top-10 in the CCI4*-L in 2022 that return in 2023.
