The USEA Foundation and the Rebecca Broussard International Developing Rider’s Committee are pleased to announce the names of the recipients of the 2016 travel grants. As part of the USEA Foundation’s renewed Rebecca Broussard Grant Program, these riders not only receive assistance with travel, they are eligible to interview and apply for the two International Grants which total in excess of $30,000. All those listed (and any FEI competitor at the RF Event) can take part in the interview process at The Event at Rebecca Farm, July 21-24. The two year-end grants will be presented at the USEA Annual Meeting and Convention in December this year.
Congratulations and safe travels to all the riders who have worked so hard to prepare for the competition at The Event at Rebecca Farm.

At The Event at TerraNova last November, Canadian Jessica Phoenix narrowly missed winning the CCI4*-L with Fluorescent Adolescent, finishing second overall with two rails down. Today, the Olympic veteran found redemption and not only won the B&D Builders CCI4*-S with Freedom GS, but finished second once again with Fluorescent Adolescent.
The 2025 USEA Intercollegiate and Interscholastic Eventing Championships are just one month away, and time is running out for program members to enter this unforgettable event! The Stable View Local Charities H.T. in Aiken, South Carolina, on May 2-4 will serve as host to both program championships again this year, and the max capacity of 400 horse and rider combinations is quickly filling.
Spring is a time to prepare for what’s ahead and many of this week’s international horse trials contenders at Galway Downs International took full advantage of ideal opportunities to build confidence, confirm training and find out where they can push the edges of their horse’s performance.
