Retired Racehorse Project Renews as Bronze Sponsor of the 2024 USEA American Eventing Championships

The United States Eventing Association, Inc. (USEA) is pleased to announce the Retired Racehorse Project as a “Bronze Level Sponsor of the 2024 USEA American Eventing Championships (AEC).” In return, the USEA will be supporting the Retired Racehorse Project’s Thoroughbred Makeover, which takes place Oct. 9-12 in Lexington, Kentucky, as a “Starting Gate Sponsor.”

“The sport of eventing has been a platform where the Thoroughbred shines for generations and both the RRP and USEA are committed to keeping it that way for generations to come. To that end, the RRP is pleased continue our longstanding and mutually supportive relationship with USEA.," said Retired Racehorse Project's Executive Director Kirsten Green

The Retired Racehorse Project (also known as “The RRP”) is an organization that aims to foster Thoroughbreds that have formerly raced into second homes and careers via increasing the demand for them in equestrian sports. The RRP hosts the Thoroughbred Makeover annually to show the world the talent of retired racehorses in other roles. The RRP seeks to enlighten the world of all Thoroughbreds can do outside of racing, as well as empower those who train them.

“The USEA is thrilled to have the Retired Racehorse Project as a sponsor again for 2024’s AEC.
The RRP is a wonderful organization that promotes the Thoroughbred, a breed that we see every day in eventing. The RRP, as well as the USEA, promote our sport and empower our riders. Thoroughbreds have long been a stalwart in our sport, and with the help of the RRP will continue to be,” said USEA CEO Rob Burk.
