This summer, the United States Eventing Association (USEA) began using the mobile fundraising software MobileCause. Because a large portion of USEA members are constantly on the go, MobileCause allows the USEA to communicate instantly and directly with members through text message.
The USEA Foundation is currently utilizing MobileCause to raise funds for the Collapsible Fence Study. Subscribed members should have received a message this week that looked like this:
If you are interested in pledging to support, simply reply “FENCES.” This will prompt MobileCause to send you a second text message which will include a link where you can donate in a secure mobile web browser. Please be aware replying with the keyword, “FENCES” will not automatically submit a donation.
By clicking the link sent to you in a second text message, you will be taken to a page where you can enter donation amount, contact information and credit card information to finalize your donation.
All members with listed mobile phone numbers have been included in the MobileCause program. Please be aware standard message and data rates may apply, contact your cell phone provider for more information. The USEA politely respects the privacy of its members. If you wish to opt out of the MobileCause program, you may do so at any time by replying “STOP.”
If you would prefer to donate online, please visit www.useafoundation.org/donate/.
The USEA Foundation exists to protect and preserve the sport of eventing by ensuring the future of the many education, safety and equine welfare-focused programs of the USEA. MobileCause will allow members to support the programs of their choosing safely, quickly and in a manner that fits their on-the-go lifestyles. Thank you for supporting the USEA Foundation as they work to ensure the future of eventing.
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 (DK3DE) 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.
After the first competition at Modified was held at The Horse Park at Woodside in California in 2023, the level will be under an even bigger spotlight with the Modified Match that will be offered at the 2024 Woodside Spring Horse Trials that will take place from May 24-26.
The inaugural USEA Interscholastic Eventing League (IEL) Championship at Stable View in Aiken, South Carolina, is just over a week away, which means it is time to meet the teams that are set to compete! A total of 43 competitors representing eight IEL Clubs will make up the 11 teams that are set to compete in the 2024 USEA IEL Championship on Saturday, May 4 and Sunday, May 5.
