The United States Eventing Association (USEA) is pleased to announce the new partnership with Capital Square, the Official Real Estate Partner of the USEA. Capital Square will also join as Gold Sponsor of the USEA American Eventing Championships (AEC), Contributing Sponsor of the USEA Future Event Horse (FEH) Program, Contributing Sponsor of the USEA Young Event Horse (YEH) Program, Bronze Sponsor of the USEA Annual Meeting & Convention, and Title Sponsor of the Adult Amateur of the Year Leaderboard.

Capital Square is a national real estate firm specializing in tax-advantaged real estate investments, including Delaware statutory trusts for Section 1031 exchanges and qualified opportunity zone funds for tax deferral and exclusion. Since 2012, Capital Square has completed more than $4.2 billion in transaction volume. Capital Square’s executive team has decades of experience in real estate investments. Its founder, Louis Rogers, has structured hundreds of investment offerings totaling in excess of $5 billion. Capital Square’s related entities provide a range of services, including due diligence, acquisition, loan sourcing, property/asset management, and disposition, for a growing number of high net worth investors, private equity firms, family offices, and institutional investors.

“Capital Square is pleased to announce a corporate partnership with United States Equestrian Association (USEA), a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational organization committed to advancing the equestrian sport of “eventing” through education of riders, trainers, officials, and organizers, with the health and well-being of the horse of paramount importance,” said Louis Rogers, founder and CEO of Capital Square. Rogers is an active amateur eventer himself, campaigning his trusty Irish Sport Horses, Russel and Leo, throughout the southeast. “Many members of USEA own farms and ranches, which typically qualify for tax deferral under Section 1031. Also, other USEA members are seeking tax-advantaged real estate investments to maximize their after-tax returns. Our team looks forward to making Capital Square’s suite of tax-advantaged real estate investments available to the membership and working with USEA to advance the sport.”

Since 2017, Capital Square has been recognized by Inc. 5000 as one of the fastest-growing companies in the nation for five consecutive years. Additionally, in 2021, the company was ranked 101st on the list of Inc. 5000 Washington D.C. Metro’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies.

While all teams put their best foot forward, one team rose above the rest. The Iron Bridge Hounds Pony Club came into the weekend with one goal in mind—to win. They achieved that goal by such a large margin, a little more than 16 points, that they were able to claim the title of champions before their last rider, 16-year-old Claire McMillan, had even left the start box.
