Throwback Thursday Presented by the USEA Foundation: 1975 Pan Am Games

By USEA

The 1975 Pan American Games were only the fifth edition of the Games and they took place in Mexico City. With only four teams participating, it was a small field and the U.S. Team won by nearly 300 points over second-placed Canada and third-placed Mexico. The remaining team, Guatemala, only finished one of their horses for fourth place.

Mexican soldiers grabbing bridles on roads and tracks, Jim Day was eliminated for weighing in with his whip in hand, Tad Coffin was given an accidental 200 time penalty points on cross-country and with judging spreads of 40 points in dressage - things sure have come a long way in the last 40 years!

Read the full coverage of the 1975 Pan American Games by Corinne Gray as it originally appeared in the USCTA News.

Now On Course: Patience Pays Off for Nazila Hejazi & Her 20-Year-Old Missouri Fox Trotter

Nazila Hejazi and her 20-year-old Missouri Fox Trotter mare, Tessa, may have made for an unconventional pair at the USEA Area VI Championships, held in October at Galway Downs (Temecula, California) but they didn’t let that hold them back. It’s uncommon to see a horse in their twenties still competing in eventing, and even more rare for a gaited horse to compete in a jumping sport.

Echoing the Dream: Small Acts of Kindness in Eventing

Today, we pause to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and reflect on the powerful moment in 1963 when he stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and shared his vision for a better future. Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech was more than just words; it was a call to action that transcended time, culture, and boundaries—a beacon of hope that continues to inspire.
