USEF’s Equestrian Magazine released its inaugural 30 Under 30 list last week, and scanning through it is like reading Who’s Who of eventing. It’s exciting to see so many eventers and young professionals working in the eventing industry named to the list. With such talented individuals working at the forefront of our sport, eventing’s future looks very bright.

In the equestrian world we are seeing a vast youth movement as an ever-growing group of individuals under the age of 30 is shaping the future of the sport in and out of the competition arena. In this vein, the editors of Equestrian Magazine have decided to compile a list of 30 game changers under the age 30. Some of the names may be familiar to you, while others might be new faces. Whether it is on the field of play, in the barn, or behind the scenes, these young men and women are making a lasting impact on the sport they love and will shape the future for years to come.
