Foundation to host The Board of Governors of the U.S. Eventing Association and the Board of Directors of the Carolina Horse Park Foundation are delighted to announce that the inaugural American Eventing Championships will take place September 24-28, 2003 at the Carolina Horse Park in Raeford, North Carolina. The Championships will bring together approximately 500 of the Nation's best horses and riders, who have qualified at competitions throughout the United States over the previous twelve months, to compete for the U.S. Eventing Association's highest honors and $50,000 prize money. More than 15,000 spectators are expected to visit the park and salute the achievements of these champions. This will be the first time championships of this type will be offered to riders and horses at all levels of the sport on American soil. Hailed as a "Festival of Eventing" this competition at the Carolina Horse Park will include entertainment to suit all members of the family. Located near Pinehurst in the heart of golf country, the Horse Park will be the place to plan an early fall vacation. Many of our Olympic stars will be competing for top honors on their international horses and will participate in demonstrations and forums designed to entertain the public. Currently, the Carolina Horse Park is home to the Southern Pines Horse Trials, Longleaf Pine Horse Trials, Five Points Horse Trials, Southern Pines Hunter-Jumper Classic and the famed Stoneybrook Steeplechase Races. The U.S. Eventing Association sanctions nearly 300 events each year across the United States and is dedicated to education, safety, equine welfare and the promotion of the Olympic equestrian sport of eventing.
