United States Eventing Association

The Volunteer Incentive Program was established in 2017 and in just one year has experienced incredible growth, both in the number of volunteers using the Eventing Volunteers app and in the number of organizers putting the app to good use. In 2016, when the app was being piloted in Area II, it had just 800 registered volunteers. This year, the app has over 6,000 registered users and is used by 86 USEA recognized events across the country.

Have you heard about the new Eventing Volunteers website, app and leaderboard? Listen in as Nick Hinze walks you through the new technology, committee chair, Holly Covey talks about the program and Taylor Stotler shares her love of volunteering.

This week on the podcast, we discuss the backbone of our sport: Volunteers. Donald Trotter, a dedicated volunteer for many years, joins us to share his many experiences.

Jerri Lance, Volunteer Coordinator for the Nutrena USEA American Eventing Championships, and long-serving volunteer Don Trotter share their experiences and explain why volunteers are key to the success of events. We begin our series on the 2015 USEA Hall of Fame Inductees with Molokai; Dorothy Crowell's 1994 World Equestrian Games silver medal partner.
