The United States Pony Club (USPC) is offering a $5,000 prize to the winning Preliminary Eventing Team at USPC Championships. This award, offered only during Festival years at the Kentucky Horse Park, offers an incentive for upper level members to come to Championships.
The Broussard Family Trust made a major contribution to secure the award for this year and years to come. Additional funds have been raised by a silent auction of several horse trials entries including Woodside Horse Trials, Fair Hill Horse Trials, Cobblestone Horse Trials, New Jersey Horse Trials and Seneca Valley Horse Trials. Supporting donations were also received from Pony Clubs and regions across the country, as well as individual donors. The USPC is extremely grateful to the Broussard Family Trust, the USEA-recognized horse trials organizers, and all regional and individual donors.
In 2011, all five members of the Preliminary Eventing Team won a $1,000 prize, including the Stable Manager, rewarding their excellence in riding, horsemanship and teamwork. You can see how they spent their money here: http://www.eventing.ponyclub.org/News.htm
We hope that sharing the knowledge about this special award will help increase the number of Preliminary Eventing teams at this year’s Championships in Kentucky. USPC celebrates its 60th Anniversay this year and runs the Pony Club Championships on the grounds of the famous Rolex Kentucky CCI****, alongside the North American Junior & Young Riders Championships, July 14 - 21, 2014.
After an action packed Saturday at Stable View on the opening day of the 8th Annual USEA Intercollegiate Eventing National Championship, the podium was up for grabs heading into the final day of competition. The stage was set for an unforgettable showdown between the 18 university and college teams who were entered.
Coach Halliea Milner loved that the USEA Interscholastic Eventing League (IEL) gave her riders the opportunity to compete together as a team in a normally individual sport. But, when it came down to it, her riders acted no differently this weekend at the inaugural USEA Interscholastic Eventing Championship than they do at home.
Saturday at the 8th annual USEA Intercollegiate Eventing Championship saw a record number of entries trot down centerline at Stable View in Aiken, South Carolina. Riders from eighteen colleges and universities gave it their all in the dressage test before heading into either their show jumping or cross-country phase depending on their division. From Starter up through Intermediate, riders were decked out in team colors and the energy across the facility was electric with cheers.
Talk with any of the coaches or riders of the eight USEA Interscholastic Eventing League (IEL) clubs that make up the 12 IEL teams competing in the inaugural USEA Interscholastic Eventing Championship this weekend and one theme has been constant across the board—camaraderie.
