United States Eventing Association

The United States Eventing Association (USEA) is pleased to welcome back The Dutta Corporation as a valued supporter of the USEA Young Event Horse (YEH) Program and the 2026 USEA Young Event Horse Championships. The Dutta Corporation will return as the Official Platinum Level Sponsor of the USEA YEH Championships, supporting both the East and West Coast.

The 2026 USEA YEH East Coast Championships will take place Oct. 16-17 at Fair Hill in Elkton, Maryland, in conjunction with the Maryland 3 Star at Fair Hill. The USEA YEH West Coast Championships will follow on Oct. 23-24 at Twin Rivers Ranch in Paso Robles, California.

The Dutta Corporation is an international horse transportation company specializing in the safe and efficient transportation of horses throughout the world. Founded by Tim Dutta, the company has decades of experience transporting elite equine athletes for international competitions, championships, sales, and other equestrian endeavors. The Dutta Corporation is committed to providing exceptional care throughout every stage of a horse's journey.

As a longtime supporter of eventing and the USEA YEH Program, The Dutta Corporation, helps to provide opportunities for the next generation of talented event horses to develop and succeed. As part of its partnership, The Dutta Corporation will provide a $10,000 account credit to the recipient of the Holekamp/Turner Grant. The credit is designated toward round-trip horse transportation between Miami or Chicago and Europe for the recipient traveling to compete at the FEI Eventing World Breeding Championships at Mondial du Lion.

The Holekamp/Turner Grant is awarded annually to a qualified horse from the USEA YEH Program to assist with the significant costs associated with representing the United States at Mondial du Lion in Le Lion d’Angers, France. The continued support of The Dutta Corporation helps make this international opportunity more accessible to an outstanding young event horse and its connections.

“We are incredibly grateful to The Dutta Corporation for their continued commitment to the YEH Program,” said USEA CEO Rob Burk. “Developing talented young horses is essential to the future of eventing in the United States, and partners like The Dutta Corporation help us provide meaningful opportunities for these horses, their riders, breeders, and owners.”

About the USEA Young Event Horse (YEH) Program

The Young Event Horse (YEH) Program was first established in 2004 as an eventing talent search. Much like similar programs in Europe, the YEH program was designed to identify young horses aged 4- and 5-years-old, that possess the talent and disposition to, with proper training, excel at the uppermost levels of the sport. The ultimate goal of the program is to distinguish horses with the potential to compete at the four- and five-star levels, but many fine horses that excel at the lower levels are also showcased by the program.

The YEH program provides an opportunity for breeders and owners to exhibit the potential of their young horses while encouraging the breeding and development of top event horses for the future. The program rewards horses who are educated and prepared in a correct and progressive manner. At qualifying events, youngsters complete a dressage test and a jumping/galloping/general impression phase. At Championships, young horses are also evaluated on their conformation in addition to the dressage test and jumping/galloping/general impression phase.
