The USEA American Eventing Championships are finally here as eventers once again trek up to the beautiful Rebecca Farm in Kalispell, MT. This year’s AEC features both Championship and Festival classes from Beginner Novice up through Advanced, making for a top-notch competition to wrap up the U.S. championship period.
Whether you’re attending/competing in person or following along from back at home, use this guide for all the information you need. While we don’t have a reporter on the ground in Montana this week, we will be bringing you daily recaps and social media round-ups, so stay tuned for much more!
The Entries
The small-but-mighty $60,000 Adequan® USEA Advanced Final 2022 features primarily riders from the West coast, including three rides for James Alliston and two for Kaylawna Smith-Cook. You can preview the full entry list and ride times (as well as scoring beginning tomorrow for some divisions) for Horse, Rider, and Festival divisions here.
