United States Eventing Association

As the only National Championships of its kind in the U.S., the Nutrena/USEA American Eventing Championships Presented By Bit of Britain truly gives eventers of every age and level a chance to test their skills against the best in the Nation. The USEA believes that winning a division at the AEC is a remarkable accomplishment and deserves to be rewarded, so we are doing just that!

Nearly $70,000 in prize money will be distributed among the top six in each of the 14 divisions with $20,000 earmarked for the Merial Advanced Class.
