Rebecca Broussard Passes Away

It brings me great sadness to report that eventing in the United States has lost one of its strongest supporters.  Ms. Broussard, or ‘Becky’ as she was known to those close to her, passed away on Christmas Eve.  Ms. Broussard supported eventing as an owner, as the founder of The Event at Rebecca Farm (her namesake), as a leader within the USEA, and in many, many other ways.  For many years Ms. Broussard was one of the go-to people when a team rider found a fabulous horse and needed a big owner. 

Ms. Broussard was perhaps the most important figure in helping West Coast eventing to flourish and she organized one of the best events in the world to accomplish that task.  Her health had been declining for some time and the number of top riders who traveled out to The Event at Rebecca Farm this year shows how much everyone appreciates her contributions to eventing.  I can’t count the number of pros and amateurs alike who have told me over the years about the wonderful ways Ms. Broussard touched their eventing careers.  All of Eventing Nation feels the loss today and we send our sincere condolences to the Broussard family.
