Attention ALL Young/Future Event Horse Owners and Riders/Handlers!
Announcing YEH/FEH trophy sponsorship
YEH/FEH: Sign up NOW for Year End Awards for Area II
The USEA Area II year end awards program is offering two sponsored trophies in the Future Event Horse of the Year and Young Event Horse of the Year categories for 2022.
The USEA Area II MERLIN MEMORIAL Young Event Horse Championship, sponsored by Dr. Elizabeth Callahan in honor of her horse Merlin (Mighty Magic-Leia/Le Champion). “I’m proud of our US-bred event horses, and will continue to support the Young Event Horse program, and our sport, in whatever ways I can. Merlin participated in both the FEH and the YEH, and this award in his memory is for the top placing Young Event Horse in Area 2.” The 2021 winner was Archelos (Despite the Odds-Sailboat Sally) owned by April Shepherd, and ridden by Rebecca Lee.
Also put in service in 2021 is the Cool Na Grena Future Event Horse trophy, also sponsored by Dr. Elizabeth Callahan, and the winner was Utah Beach (Ulmar Mail-Avalon) owned by Monica Fiss-Burdette. Our thanks and appreciate to Dr. Callahan for her support.
The 2022 Area II Year End Awards registration is now open!
Please note we have a different form this year for Young Event Horses, Future Event Horses, or New Event Horses (YEH/FEH/NEH) as we need a little different information for those categories than on the regular registration form.
Please use the regular form for all other registrations! Please remember no registrations are final without payment, and when you receive your Confirmation Email, please make sure to save it. Have a great season!
