This year the USEA will host an Annual Meeting & Convention unlike any other. The 2020 USEA Annual Meeting will be held virtually and participants can attend the meeting from the comfort of their own home. The 2020 USEA Annual Meeting & Convention was originally set to take place in Albuquerque, New Mexico but, due to COVID-19, the in-person meeting was postponed and replaced by a unique virtual experience.
The centerpiece of the USEA Virtual Annual Meeting & Convention will be the Annual Meeting of Members and the Keynote Address taking place on Saturday, December 12, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time. This event will be free to join with the only requirement being that you must be a registered 2021 USEA member (at any level) to participate.
Much like the week of convention, the USEA will also offer exclusive educational content and interactive webinars on the USEA website in the days leading up to the annual meeting. This content will be open to the public. USEA members will also be able to participate in open committee meetings and get a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the workings of the Association.
The educational and informative sessions offered at convention typically require a registration fee, but this year it will be entirely free of charge. Make sure to mark the calendars as you won’t want to miss this unique opportunity.
Interested in finding out who will be the keynote speaker for this year’s annual meeting? Stay tuned!
Details on the year-end awards ceremony will be decided by the USEA Board of Governors and announced soon.
The USEA Annual Meeting & Convention takes place each December and brings together a large group of dedicated USEA members and supporters to discuss, learn, and enjoy being surrounded by other eventing enthusiasts. The USEA organizes multiple seminars in addition to committee meetings, open forums, and tons of fun! Click here to learn more about the USEA Annual Meeting & Convention.
Thirty-five five-star horses presented today under sunny skies at the Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event.
If all goes according to plan in the first part of the extended weekend, we will see 36 horses galloping across Derek di Grazia's CCI5*-L cross-country course at the 2024 Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event (DK3DE). We partnered up with the team at CrossCountry App to bring you a preview of both the five-star and CCI4*-s tracks this year.
Lights, cameras, action! The first formal horse inspection (which some might informally refer to as "the jog") at the 2024 Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event (K3DE) takes place this afternoon at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky. While this part of the event is a fan-favorite historically based on the impeccable turnout of the horses and the stylish and forward fashion choices of the riders (we are looking at you Boyd Martin in hopes that you bring back the American flag suit circa 2022), it serves a very important purpose: ensuring that each horse is fit, sound, and ready to compete at the five-star level.
There are so many things to love about the Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event and the opportunity to peruse the booths of so many amazing vendors is definitely one of them! Don’t forget to stop by the USEA booth, located just behind the Rolex Stadium next to the large Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event booth, to stock up on all of your favorite USEA apparel.
