Going on NOW! Excited for the start of a new breeding season? The Westfalen Verband North America’s annual Stallion Service Auction offers 60+ more reasons to celebrate! The auction is open for bidding through 8 p.m. EDT Sunday March 7th.

Thrilling equestrian sport filled the WEC Grand Arena today for the $75,000 WEC Grand Prix 1.50m and the $7,500 Futures Prix 1.40m. Courses for the classes were designed by Kelvin Bywater and challenged riders’ technical abilities throughout the day.

Kristen VanderVeen (USA) scored the win in the $75,000 WEC – Ocala Grand Prix 1.50m on Sunday, February 14, aboard Bull Run's Risen, owned by Bull Run Jumpers Inc.

Week five of the 2021 Adequan® Global Dressage Festival (AGDF) continued on Friday, February 12, at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center (PBIEC) in Wellington, FL, with a winning ride in the FEI Grand Prix CDI-W presented by Helgstrand Dressage for Brittany Fraser-Beaulieu (CAN) and All In.

A fundraising campaign was started by athletes and fueled by the grassroots effort of the broader eventing community, generating more than $550,000 in donations to run the event. “While that still leaves us short of the amount needed, it is enough to convince us that the balance can be raised,” added Cooper. “We are now, with the assistance of the Kentucky Horse Park Foundation, committed to going forward with the Five Star.”

Here's how you can help. Without the commitment to allow the spectators, EEI simply could not go forward, but the support to help make this happen in spite of not being able to (at this time) allow spectators has been overwhelming.

The U.S. Para Dressage Team maintains their stride as the number one ranked FEI Team in Para-Dressage after a solid weekend (January 27-30, 2021) at the AGDF CPEDI3*. The Wellington venue was an excellent location for the launch of an important Paralympic Year.

Coming up on Friday is the $50,000 Adequan® WEF Challenge Round 4 on the grass Derby Field at Equestrian Village, the $25,000 Hermès U25 Grand Prix Series Team Event in the Global Stadium Arena, and in the International Arena at PBIEC is the $25,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby Hunt & Go at 1 p.m.

Coming off a win in the $37,000 Adequan® WEF Challenge Cup Round 3 on Friday, Kent Farrington and Austria 2, put on yet another display of speed and precision to capture the $137,000 NetJets Grand Prix CSI3*.

US Equestrian has announced the 2021 revisions to the Athlete Pathway Programs for combined driving. The Driving Sport Committee completed a thorough review of the Elite Athlete and Developing Athlete Programs for combined driving, including a better understanding of the goals for each.
