The 2022 United States Eventing Association (USEA) Annual Meeting and Convention will be a special year celebrating eventing in the historical city of Savannah, Georgia. Taking place December 7-11, 2022 at the Hyatt Regency Savannah Hotel, the USEA will also be celebrating the 8th Eventing Hall of Fame in true southern style.

Every December, the USEA Annual Meeting & Convention brings together dedicated USEA members and supporters to discuss, learn, and enjoy being surrounded by eventing enthusiasts. The USEA organizes multiple seminars in additions to committee meetings, open forums, and this year will also include the USEA’s Eventing Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

The USEA recommends making hotel reservations as soon as possible at this popular destination. The Hyatt Regency Savannah Hotel is a newly restyled hotel located on the Savannah River and in the heart of Savannah's historic district. Convention attendees can enjoy many of Savannah’s famous restaurants within walking distance, along with shopping, museums and nightlife nearby. Reserve your room in the USEA room block here.

There are currently 47 eventing legends in the USEA’s Eventing Hall of Fame, and the induction into the Hall of Fame is the highest honor awarded within the sport of eventing in the United States. Those invited to join the USEA's Eventing Hall of Fame have made a significant difference in the sport of eventing, and past Hall of Fame members have included Association presidents, volunteers, riders, founding fathers, course designers, officials, organizers, horses, horse owners, and coaches. The USEA’s Eventing Hall of Fame Class of 2022 will continue to be announced throughout the year.

Learn more about the USEA’s Eventing Hall of Fame and read about the current members here. For more information about this year’s USEA Annual Meeting and Convention in Savannah, Georgia, visit the USEA Convention website, which includes travel information and local recommendations.

Pressure Proof with Daniel Stewart: Saying is Believing

This month we’re going to begin a three-part series on how to create positive riding experiences by making sure the words you say to yourself and the thoughts you think to yourself are positive. Referred to as self-talk, internal dialogue, or brain babble; the words you say to yourself can have a huge impact on your performance. In fact, your thoughts and voice are actually considered behaviors, and just like how positive physical behaviors (i.e. a balanced transition) can create success, your verbal behaviors can also accomplish the very same thing. So let's spend the next few months talking about how to talk to yourself!

Being spontaneous has paid off for Kevin Keane and Sportsfield Candy. “I bought him on a Wednesday and showed him on a Thursday,” Keane recalls about his first event with his Irish Sport Horse gelding, then 9 years old, at Plantation Field Horse Trials (Unionville, Pennsylvania) in September 2016. “I owned him for part of a day, and the next morning I showed up at a CCI and jogged him up for a two-star, and we went clean and clean and clean.”
