CINDY BURGE MEMORIAL ECP GRANT

The Cindy Burge Memorial Eventing Coaches Program (ECP) Grant is offered each year by each USEA Area Adult Rider Program to one (or more) of its Area’s instructors who meets the grant’s qualification standards and is selected as a recipient. These qualification standards include merit as an instructor, service to the sport, potential to provide future benefit to the sport, demonstration of compatibility with the educational goals of ECP, and intention to be assessed for ECP certification. This grant money will help pay the fee for each recipient’s participation in an assessment for ECP certification.

This grant program honors Cindy Burge, who was a spirited leader of eventing in the Northwest and one of the first instructors to be certified by ECP. With her instructing and competing and her organization of the Deep Creek Horse Trials outside of Spokane, Washington, Cindy benefited eventers every day with her knowledge and experience, her riding ability, and her organizational talent and hard work.
