The United States Eventing Association (USEA) is thrilled to announce STRIDER will return as an “Official Educational Partner” of the USEA for 2025. As a leader in the equestrian industry, STRIDER is committed to making equestrian sports more accessible at all levels. This partnership further strengthens the shared mission of both the USEA and STRIDER to grow the sport and enhance the overall eventing experience for all.

“To grow our sport nationwide, we need to provide greater access to the public. This partnership with STRIDER helps us achieve that,” said USEA CEO Rob Burk. “STRIDER’s easy to use platform connects members with a variety of competitions, education opportunities, and schooling events. As an educational association promoting eventing, we are thrilled to continue collaborating with STRIDER.”

Supporting over 1.2 million equestrians annually, the STRIDER platform increases the visibility and accessibility of equestrian sport, helping organizers reach a larger audience.

This increased exposure and access is designed to drive greater participation from competitors, spectators, venues, vendors, and ultimately sponsors.

Tara Swersie, CEO of STRIDER said, “We’re excited to extend our partnership with USEA for another year to help grow participation in eventing, from grassroots to FEI. This collaboration aligns perfectly with STRIDER’s mission to make equestrian sport more accessible through quality education and competition.”

Through this renewed collaboration, STRIDER and USEA will continue to partner on a variety of initiatives, to include a monthly co-produced article series on USEA’s useventing.com offering educational tips and business for USEA members.
