United States Eventing Association

The United States Pony Club (USPC) is offering a $5,000 prize to the winning Preliminary Eventing Team at USPC Championships. This award, offered only during Festival years at the Kentucky Horse Park, offers an incentive for upper level members to come to Championships.

The Broussard Family Trust made a major contribution to secure the award for this year and years to come. Additional funds have been raised by a silent auction of several horse trials entries including Woodside Horse Trials, Fair Hill Horse Trials, Cobblestone Horse Trials, New Jersey Horse Trials and Seneca Valley Horse Trials. Supporting donations were also received from Pony Clubs and regions across the country, as well as individual donors. The USPC is extremely grateful to the Broussard Family Trust, the USEA-recognized horse trials organizers, and all regional and individual donors.

In 2011, all five members of the Preliminary Eventing Team won a $1,000 prize, including the Stable Manager, rewarding their excellence in riding, horsemanship and teamwork. You can see how they spent their money here: http://www.eventing.ponyclub.org/News.htm

We hope that sharing the knowledge about this special award will help increase the number of Preliminary Eventing teams at this year’s Championships in Kentucky. USPC celebrates its 60th Anniversay this year and runs the Pony Club Championships on the grounds of the famous Rolex Kentucky CCI****, alongside the North American Junior & Young Riders Championships, July 14 - 21, 2014.
