Grant Description
Grants to USA individuals to participate in horse riding events. Funding is intended to support the education and development of competitive riders. Grant funds may also be requested for travel expenses. The purpose of this program is to educate, inspire, improve skills, and expand the knowledge of developing riders at the international level.

The Rebecca Broussard Developing Rider Grants are designed to assist and to encourage the education and development of event riders at the highest level of the sport. These grants are awarded to offset some of the travel and training expenses in the pursuit of achieving the qualities of an international rider. 

The Rebecca Broussard Developing Rider Fund is separated into three types:

  1. The Rebecca Broussard International Developing Rider Grant (also known as the “Big Becky”) awards funds for the educational development of an international quality rider based on competition in eventing on the global stage. The recipient of the grant will be selected by the grant committee based on performance record, interview, and involvement with the eventing community. The grant committee reserves the right to alter funding amounts based on their deliberations.
  2. The Rebecca Broussard National Developing Rider Grant (also known as the “Little Becky”) awards funds for the educational development of an international quality rider based on competition in eventing on the national stage. The recipient of the grant will be selected by the grant committee based on performance record, interview, and involvement with the eventing community. The grant committee reserves the right to alter funding amounts based on their deliberations.
  3. The Rebecca Farm Travel Grants are smaller grants made available to better assist riders to visit The Event at Rebecca Farm in order to interview for the Developing Rider Grants. Various guidelines and conditions must be met and are viewable on the application page.

The International and National Developing Rider Grants may be used to offset expenses incurred to compete at international FEI events held outside of the United States.
