United States Eventing Association

With the end of the year just a few weeks away, the dream team of USEA Podcast Host Nicole Brown, USEA CEO Rob Burk, USEA President Lou Leslie, and Equiratings' Diarm Byrne, all got together to look back on the ups and the downs of the 2024 U.S. eventing season. This is an episode you won't want to miss as we gear up for what is to come in 2025!

One of the biggest parts of preparing for your 2025 season includes taking a look at what your horse's end-of-season schedule looks like. USEA Podcast Host Nicole Brown sat down with five-star rider Meghan O'Donoghue about how you can plan for your horse's downtime, however that might look for them, to make the most of your upcoming goals.

The MARS Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill is just a week away, and USEA Podcast Host Nicole Brown sat down with USEA CEO Rob Burk and Frankie Thieriot Stutes to talk about their favorite Maryland moments to-date, what makes the venue so special, and what they are thinking of this year's lineup so far.

It's time for another rider Q&A session, and this time around we chatted with USEA Intermediate AEC champion and five-star eventer Allie Knowles about all things related to horse-care, being a professional in the sport, why Morswood is the absolute best boy in the barn, and more. A huge thanks to Allie for taking the time to chat with us!

USEA CEO Rob Burk and USEA President Lou Leslie hopped on a call with Host Nicole Brown to chat all about the USEA American Eventing Championships presented by Nutrena Feeds. From how the eventing community rallied together following Liz Halliday's fall in the Advanced Final to the amazing stories that came to light during the event, we chat about everything at this year's AEC that inspired us and remind us why this event is truly one of the most exciting events of the year!

Now that all of our U.S. horses and riders are home safe and sound from the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, USEA Podcast Host Nicole Brown chatted with USEF Eventing Technical Advisor and Chef d'Equipe Bobby Costello about the Team's preparation work, time in France, and outlook after this year's Games.

There is nothing like competing in a USEA Classic Series Event and interim USEA Podcast Host Rosie Russell sat down to chat with the three champions from the Coconino USEA Classic Series. Hear what motivated these talented eventers to participate in the long-format this year, how each competitor prepared for the event, what they learned from the experience, and so much more!

There is so much more to proper grooming than keeping your horse picture-perfect for the horse inspection. Good grooming practices are critical to proper horse management, no matter if you are planning for your next FEI appearance or your Starter level debut. To help you maximize your knowledge of grooming practices, we opened up the opportunity for USEA members to submit any questions they might have on our Instagram and Facebook stories. In this week's episode, Host Nicole Brown sits down with three of the highest-regarded grooms in this industry, Max Corcoran, Emma Ford, and Stephanie Simpson, and asks them all of your questions and more to help you perfect the art of grooming.

USEA Podcast Host Nicole Brown is back for one of the most exciting podcasts of the year, the Team Talk with USEF Eventing Technical Advisor and Chef d'Equipe Bobby Costello! With the recent announcement of the horse and rider pairs that will represent the U.S. at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France, Costello takes some time to discuss the team selections and upcoming preparations to gear the team up for this year's Games.

With an Olympic Games on U.S. soil in Los Angeles, California, in just four years time, all eyes are on talented U.S. pairs as they continue to produce their horses and improve their own skills in the saddle in hopes of getting the chance to represent Team USA on the Olympic stage. Producing up-and-coming horse and rider pairs is big focus of the U.S. Equestrian Federation, which is why the USEF Development Program was born.
