As 2025 approaches, eventing enthusiasts are encouraged to support the sport in three key ways. First, participating in educational opportunities such as clinics and workshops helps raise the standard of the sport and fosters a culture of continuous learning. Second, supporting grassroots initiatives by participating in local competitions, fundraising efforts, and volunteering helps build a strong foundation for eventing. Lastly, advocating for horse welfare and sustainable practices, such as responsible training methods and eco-friendly facility practices, ensures the long-term health and success of the sport.
Eventers can find educational opportunities through the USEA and STRIDER’s calendar of competitions and clinics. Grassroots initiatives, such as fundraising campaigns and volunteering at local competitions, are essential for sustaining the sport. Advocating for horse welfare and sustainable practices within eventing helps ensure the sport can continue to thrive for future generations.
By getting involved at all levels, sharing knowledge, and promoting responsible practices, eventers can make a positive impact on the sport and help it thrive in 2025. Together, the eventing community can work towards a year of growth, collaboration, and lasting positive change for riders, horses, and fans.
