The USEA is delighted to announce that thanks to the kindness of our members and our friends we have answered the challenge set by Ms. Jacqueline Mars and have met the $25,000 goal she established. The USEA will continue to fundraise to secure the additional $10,000 needed to fund the first year of the two-year study but we are confident that this will be achieved in the next few days, enabling us to give Dr. Smith of the University of Kentucky, the go-ahead to embark on the first phase.
We would like to thank all our friends who have donated to this important safety effort. You have truly inspired us with your willingness to support Eventing Safety. All donations are fully tax deductible and if you have not already done so you still have one day to have your donation count for the 2015 tax year. Click on the donate button at the top left hand corner of the USEA homepage before midnight tonight and follow the instructions there. To restrict your donation to the fence study please check the box for the “Collapsible Fence Study".
Again, thank you for your commitment to the USEA’s Safety Programs. We thank you for caring and want you to know that we could not do any of this if it wasn’t for you!
