As riders across the country prepare to make the journey to Kalispell, MT for The Event at Rebecca Farm, held July 16-20, many will do so with critical financial support thanks to the Rebecca Farm Travel Grants. Administered by the USEA Foundation and made possible by the generosity of the Broussard Family Charitable Foundation Trust, these grants have long played a vital role in helping up-and-coming riders compete at one of North America’s premier eventing destinations.
In total, $59,000 in grant funds were awarded this year, with all eligible applicants receiving funding. The travel grants are available to riders of any age competing at the CCI3 or CCI4 level** who have not yet represented the United States at a senior championship such as the Olympics, World Championships, or Pan American Games.
The 2025 grants reflect an expanded commitment to the program, with earlier announcements confirming a doubling of the grant amounts to better offset the rising cost of travel. This year, recipients in the CCI4* divisions will receive approximately $2 per mile traveled, while CCI3* competitors will receive $1 per mile.
Since the inception of the travel grant program in 2011, over $200,000 has been distributed to promising athletes striving toward future international representation.
