VIDEO: USEA Event College: Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation
The Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation has always been devoted to the progression of equine research. Since its founding in 1940, Grayson-Jockey Club has helped advise various equine research specialties and protocols seen in our industry today. The Foundation has endorsed health recommendations for equine industry protocols, uncovered solutions to critical diseases, and found clues to numerous resolutions of equine health issues.
The Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation is one entity that receives funding through the USEA Equine Medical Research Fund. That fund was was created in 2014 to provide consistent funding for equine medical research, which has historically been underfunded. One dollar is taken from each USEA recognized event entry and at year’s end a majority of those dollars are distributed to support vitally important equine medical research.
Learn more about the Grayson Jockey Club Research Foundation from Dr. Stuart Brown and Mr. Poppers.

Alliston’s Busy Weekend, Braitling’s Reuniting with Five-Star Mount, & Kalkman’s Advanced Victory Highlight Twin Rivers Summer H.T.
As he was finishing tacking up his horse in preparation to navigate the cross-country course at the 2024 Twin Rivers Summer Horse Trials, James Alliston expressed concern about navigating the 101 Freeway. That’s because as soon as he crossed the finish line aboard Intermediate level winner Addyson (Ampere x Nickerbocker) at 10:38 a.m. on Saturday—his fifth cross-country round of the morning with three at Preliminary and two at Intermediate—the West Coast-based five-star rider had to drive 185 miles on the 101 Freeway from Twin Rivers Ranch in Paso Robles, California, to San Francisco International Airport to catch a 4:35 p.m. flight to Frankfurt, Germany.
