The USEF has sent out a release today announcing that $50,000 in Land Rover performance grants to US riders for their placing performance at Burghley and Blenheim:
Boyd Martin: $10,000 for top 10% performance at Burghley
Sinead Halpin: $5,000 for top 20% performance at Burghley
Tiana Coudray: $10,000 for top 10% performance at Blenheim
Clark Montgomery: $10,000 for top 10% performance at Blenheim
Will Faudree: $10,000 for top 10% performance at Blenheim
Phillip Dutton: $5,000 for top 20% performance at Blenheim
Boyd said that his award money will go directly to paying for the cost of the trip that was not covered by the $15,000 travel grants that he and many of the Burghley and Blenheim riders received. Sinead’s trip was funded by the USET Foundation’s Jacqueline Mars Grant. Today in references that our 22 year old football fan readers will appreciate but all of our other readers will find random and irrelevant: Randy, how are you going to pay those grants?
