The 2009 Eventing Committee welcomes you to our website.
150
competitors joined us at either the
2009 Championships East in VA (4
Preliminary teams, 6 Training teams, 9 Novice teams and 10 Beginner
Novice teams) or the
2009 Pacific Coast Inter-Regional Championships in WA (2
Training teams, 3 Novice teams and 3 Beginner Novice teams). Thank you
to all the parents who volunteered their time, and to the USPC staff who
worked so hard to make both events such a success.
We
are thrilled to report that the first placed Preliminary team
in Virginia, winning the Grand Prix Award, has just returned from an
exciting 10 day trip to Ireland. Watch this video of their escapades
with the Scarteen Hunt.

Coming to Championships is a major under-taking that requires months of
preparation. You might even be planning ahead for 2010! Please
understand that safety is our number one priority. For this reason, it
is a good idea to get both of your
USEA affidavits completed as soon
as possible (required by the closing date, as a horse/rider combination
as stated in the rule book, even on a substitute horse, if your horse
were to go lame). Be sure to ride as many different cross-country
courses as possible so that you can have a really fun and confident ride
at Championships.
