US Equestrian is pleased to announce the list of athletes who have been invited to the 2022 Emerging Athlete Eventing 25 Assessment Sessions. The Eventing Sport Committee met on December 11, 2021, to review the applications for the 2022 sessions, which will be used to determine the 2022 Emerging Athlete Eventing 25 Program List.
The USEF Emerging Athlete Eventing 25 Program offers athletes 25 years of age and under access to coaching and instruction, high-intensity training sessions, and continued mentorship to further support the development of the Eventing Pathway. The program aims to provide fundamental skills necessary for future team athletes and athletes focused on reaching Elite status.
Participants in the assessment sessions are eventing athletes age 25 and under who have completed a Minimum Eligibility Requirement at a CCI3*-L or have been talent spotted into the program.
Assessment sessions will take place in Ocala, Fla.; Aiken, S.C.; and Temecula, Calif. Eventing Performance Advisory Team members may be present to help evaluate the athletes. Upon conclusion of the assessments, the 2022 Emerging Athlete Eventing 25 List will be named, and the athletes selected will continue to work with USEF Developing and Emerging Athlete Coach Leslie Law throughout the year.

Great Britain’s Yasmin Ingham and Banzai du Loir found themselves in a familiar position today at the top of the leaderboard after dressage at the Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event, scoring a 26.0. A year ago, Ingham and “Banzai” led the field heading into cross-country after Friday’s dressage, but they drew an earlier start this year, and Ingham’s got a few more challengers to come tomorrow.
In comparison to many of his other upper-level event horses, Commando 3, or “Connor” as he is known in the barn, is still a newer ride for Boyd Martin, but that hasn’t held the pair back.
