Leesburg, Va./Warwickshire, England — May 19 — In a landmark move for the global eventing community, British Eventing (BE) and the United States Eventing Association (USEA) have formalized a first-of-its-kind international partnership aimed at fostering strategic growth, innovation, and excellence within the sport of eventing.

This partnership establishes a collaborative framework focused on four key pillars: information sharing, strategic growth, educational and competitive program development, and technology infrastructure integration. It marks the first formal relationship of this scale and depth between two of the world’s leading national eventing organizations.

“This partnership represents a major step forward for the advancement of eventing in our countries,” said Rob Burk, CEO of the USEA. “By combining the strengths and insights of our two organizations, we are creating opportunities to elevate the sport domestically. Both organizations can learn an enormous amount from each other, especially since we share so much in common.”

“Rob and I think very much alike— we’re both keen to make the best use of the resources we have and, by working more closely together, build on what both organizations have achieved in the past and what we’re planning for the future. We’re committed to bringing our communities closer together, and I’m excited that we’ve agreed to deepen our collaboration. There is so much we’ll be able to share over time,” said Rosie Williams, CEO of British Eventing.

The partnership will initially focus on information sharing between the staff of BE and the USEA. Both organizations will provide annual progress updates and explore further opportunities for collaboration, including meetings, digital product co-development, and cross-national pilot programs.

This initiative underscores the growing recognition that the future of eventing depends on strategic alliances, shared vision, and innovation across borders.
