USEA Names Athletes for Inaugural EA21 National Camp
The United States Eventing Association (USEA) is proud to announce the selected Young Rider athletes for the Emerging Athletes 21 Program (EA21) national camp, now that the EA21 regional clinics have concluded. Twelve riders were accepted into each of the five regional EA21 clinics, taught by USEA Eventing Coaches Program (ECP) instructors, and now riders have been selected from the regional clinics to participate in the inaugural EA21 national camp this winter.
The five EA21 regional clinics that took place were: East Coast I at Morven Park International Equestrian Center (Leesburg, Va.) on July 25-26, 2022 and coached by Shannon Lilley; East Coast II at Stable View Farm (Aiken, S.C.) on July 25-26, 2022 and coached by Emily Beshear; Central at Holly Hill Farm (Benton, La.) on August 1-2, 2022 and coached by Rebecca Braitling; West Coast I at Aspen Farms (Yelm, Wash.) on August 15-16, 2022 and coached by Rebecca Brown; West Coast II at Twin Rivers Ranch (Paso Robles, Calif.) on August 17-18, 2022, also coached by Rebecca Brown.
The USEA’s EA21 Task Force has approved 19 USEA EA21 Young Riders that were proposed by the EA21 Selection Task Force, for the inaugural EA21 national camp. Each of these Young Rider athletes were selected to participate in one of the five regional EA21 clinics, and have now been selected to attend the national camp with EA21 Director of Coaching, David O’Connor.

The EA21 national camp will take place in Ocala, Florida across January 2-6, 2023, and will be taught by David O’Connor. Special guest speakers will also be on-site for this educational camp. The venue will be announced in the coming weeks and catch ride horses may be available to riders traveling from significant distances.
All invited Young Riders will be responsible for their own travel and accommodations for the EA21 national camp, but the USEA will cover all clinic, coaching and stabling fees.
The USEA would like to thank the five venues for hosting the inaugural EA21 regional clinics (Morven Park, Stable View, Holly Hill Farm, Twin Rivers Ranch, Aspen Farms), and for their wonderful hospitality. The USEA would also like to thank the Young Rider Coordinators that stepped up to help on-site: Chris Donovan, Teresa Harcourt, Stephanie Reimers, Diane Snow, as well as the entire Stable View team led by Barry Olliff.

Keane’s First FEI Win Propels the Veterinarian to Capital Square USEA Adult Amateur of the Year Title
Being spontaneous has paid off for Kevin Keane and Sportsfield Candy. “I bought him on a Wednesday and showed him on a Thursday,” Keane recalls about his first event with his Irish Sport Horse gelding, then 9 years old, at Plantation Field Horse Trials (Unionville, Pennsylvania) in September 2016. “I owned him for part of a day, and the next morning I showed up at a CCI and jogged him up for a two-star, and we went clean and clean and clean.”
