The USEA Grooms Committee, composed of top professional eventing grooms, has been actively addressing challenges faced by grooms in the sport, with recent discussions focusing on mental health and burnout. Notable five-star grooms such as Dr. Tyler Held, Emma Ford, and Stephanie Simpson have contributed to these important conversations, highlighting the need for support and awareness within the grooming community.
The USEA Grooms Program aims to provide educational opportunities, promote career sustainability, and enhance equine management and welfare. Reporting to the VP of Active Athletes, the committee organizes seminars throughout the year on advanced horse care techniques and relevant topics, open to anyone interested. More information and upcoming seminar schedules are available on the USEA website and social media channels.
