Olympians Kyle Carter, Doug Payne, and Lauren Nicholson joined Ride iQ Co-Founders Kinsey and Jessa Lux at the 2021 USEA Annual Meeting & Convention for a panel on the future of eventing both in the U.S. and globally as well as sharing their own individual reflections on the sport as it is today and their hopes and predictions for the future. Watch the video below to get each rider's feedback on the following questions:

  • Where is the greatest need for innovation in the industry?
  • What efforts or programs will make the U.S. the most competitive country in the world?
  • What safety measures are most effective and what (if any) new safety measures would be helpful?
  • If you could change anything about the sport today, what would it be?
  • How have the demands at each level changed in recent years, and how do you expect/hope they continue to evolve?
  • The sport has changed significantly in the past 10 years. Which of those changes do you think was most beneficial?
