I’m proud to be a part of the USEA Emerging Athletes U21 Program (EA21), a program dedicated to developing the next generation of eventing athletes. Now, EA21 needs the support of our eventing community to continue. 🐴
The USEA is working to raise $65,000 to fund the program for the year, and every donation—no matter the size—helps provide future young riders with the opportunities that EA21 has provided to athletes like me. This program runs on community support each year, so it’s up to us to help. 🙏🏼✨
My EA21 experience is definitely one I will always remember! I felt lucky to have been able to learn and expand my horsemanship knowledge alongside such talented athletes. Support for EA21 means so much to me because I’ve been able to see firsthand what a difference this program can make.
I hope you’ll consider joining me to help ensure the next generation of young event riders has access to this opportunity. 🇺🇸🤍 by @l.schaefeventing

It’s Team Bronze for @areavyoungriders 🥉✨ Bummed that I didn’t give Sammy the ride he deserved yesterday for our individual performance, but couldn’t be happier for our team to step on a podium with other very competitive young riders. We’ll be back and hungrier than ever 💪🏼 Huge thank you to our amazing Chef @stephtassos, our Team Coach @bizzieoconnor, @_miafarley for letting me ride her special horse, @hmcc.eventing for the amazing turnout all week, and finally my incredible teammates @oliviapratt_eventing @oliviafry.eventing 🙏🏼 Couldn’t have done it without you guys!
