USEF Announces Allocation of 2025-2027 USEF/USEA Developing Horse National Championships
The U.S. Equestrian Federation has announced the host location of the 2025-27 USEF/USEA Developing Horse National Championship. They will take place at the Morven Park International & Fall Horse Trials in Leesburg, Virginia, from Oct, 9-12, 2025. The USEF/USEA Developing Horse National Championship will continue to feature two divisions—the first for 6-year-old horses competing at the CCI2*-S level, and the second for 7-year-old horses competing at the CCI3*-S level.
The aim of the championship is to identify horses with the perceived ability to eventually contribute to the Elite Program and achieve podium scores within three quadrennials. The goal is to encourage continued development and education of young horses in the U.S., while adding incentive for athletes bringing developing horses along through the levels to gain more career experience.
Rob Burk, CEO of the United States Eventing Association, which is based near Morven Park in Leesburg, shared his enthusiasm about having the national championships next door. “The USEA is proud to once again see Morven Park play host to the USEF/USEA Developing Horse Championships for the next several years. Our headquarters are located across the street from the Park, and the history of our organization has direct ties to Morven. We know that the facility will be a fantastic location for the championships, and we look forward to greeting a new generation of champions”.
Stacey Metcalfe, Executive Director & CEO of Morven Park, shared the excitement of hosting the championships again, “Morven Park is thrilled to continue hosting the USEF/USEA Developing Horse Eventing National Championships for the 2025-2027 seasons. We look forward to creating an environment that fosters and challenges the next generation of US eventing talent. As we look ahead to 2025 in partnership with USEF, we will be establishing a complete championship experience for all FEI levels at the Morven Park International & Fall Horse Trials and the US Equestrian Open Eventing Final.”
