The riders briefing has just concluded with a big announcement from the USEA Endowment Trust and its Rebecca Broussard International Developing Rider Grant Task Force. Becky’s daughter Sarah announced that a grant totaling $250,000 over the next 5 years for developing riders who are successfully competing at the advanced level has been given by the Borussard Family to the Endowment Trust. The grant will be $50,000 each year and it will be split into two different grants, with $20,000 per year being given to multiple riders as travel grants to attend The Event at Rebecca Farm. The remaining $30,000 will be used as a year end grant competition and travel grant given to one developing rider, although riders with red coats are excluded. For more information, check out the USEA press release.
Also, if you didn’t see the updated jog report, Phillip Dutton did not present TruLuck, meaning that 45 horses will move on to the dressage. We’ll have much more from Rolex in a few. Go eventing.
