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.
