The United States Eventing Association (USEA) will be hosting the Emerging Athletes 21 (EA21) program which will consist of three regional clinics in the summer, leading to a national camp in the winter. The regional clinics (east, central, west) will be open to USEA Young Rider program members aged 21 and under, and then selections will be made from the regional clinics and Young Riders will be chosen to attend the national camp the following winter.

The regional clinics will be held over two days with dressage and show jumping on the first day and cross-country on the second.

Host sites should; be attractive and presentable venues, have good footing in arenas and on cross-country, and have the ability to fit trailers for parking. The ability to offer stabling to clinic attendees would be desirable for the regional clinics.
