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.

Thirty-five five-star horses presented today under sunny skies at the Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event.
If all goes according to plan in the first part of the extended weekend, we will see 36 horses galloping across Derek di Grazia's CCI5*-L cross-country course at the 2024 Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event (DK3DE). We partnered up with the team at CrossCountry App to bring you a preview of both the five-star and CCI4*-s tracks this year.
Lights, cameras, action! The first formal horse inspection (which some might informally refer to as "the jog") at the 2024 Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event (K3DE) takes place this afternoon at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky. While this part of the event is a fan-favorite historically based on the impeccable turnout of the horses and the stylish and forward fashion choices of the riders (we are looking at you Boyd Martin in hopes that you bring back the American flag suit circa 2022), it serves a very important purpose: ensuring that each horse is fit, sound, and ready to compete at the five-star level.
There are so many things to love about the Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event and the opportunity to peruse the booths of so many amazing vendors is definitely one of them! Don’t forget to stop by the USEA booth, located just behind the Rolex Stadium next to the large Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event booth, to stock up on all of your favorite USEA apparel.
