OCALA HORSE PROPERTIES REBECCA FARM FLIGHT GRANT (RETIRED 2023)

In 2021 the team from Ocala Horse Properties, led by Rob and Chris Desino, visited The Event at Rebecca Farm for the first time. In awe of the quality of the event, they felt that the entire eventing community, especially those on the East Coast of the United States, needed to make this event a part of their yearly competition plans. Inspired to take action Ocala Horse Properties announced during the 2021 USEA Annual Meeting & Convention that they would step up to provide two grants to make the trip possible for horse and rider combinations at the CCI4*-L and CCI3*-L levels. Ocala Horse Properties has a long history of supporting and sponsoring three-day eventing, but this is the first time that they have established a grant through the USEA Foundation.

The Ocala Horse Properties Rebecca Farm Flight Grant was awarded to two (2) horse and rider combinations, one who was competing in the CCI3*-L and one in the CCI4*-L at The Event at Rebecca Farm. The riders were required to be USEA members residing in Areas I, II, III, or VIII at the time that they applied for the grant.
