The USEA Young Event Horse Program (YEH) began in 2004 as a pilot program and is best described as an eventing talent search. YEH’s first season as an official program of the USEA was 2005, and the program’s goal is to identify young horses that possesses the talent and disposition that, with proper training, can excel in the uppermost levels of eventing. While the ultimate aim is to identify the future four-star horses, many fine event horses who will excel at the lower levels will also be showcased.
The Program gives owners and breeders the opportunity to showcase the potential of their four- and five-year-old horses while encouraging the breeding and development of top-level event horses for the future. Classes focus on education and preparation of the event horse in a correct and progressive manner. At qualifying events, youngsters are asked to At Championships, youngsters are asked to complete two sections: complete three sections: 1. Dressage (30%) 1. Conformation/Type (10%) 2. Jumping Test/Gallop/General Impression (70%) 2. Dressage (20%) 3. Jumping Test/Gallop/General Impression (70%)
*New in 2020: Horses must earn a score of 70% or higher at one qualifier to qualify for either Championship. Qualifications have been eased in 2020 due to COVID-19

The Holekamp/Turner YEH Lion d’Angers Grant
The Holekamp/Turner Young Event Horse Lion d’Angers Grant will award the highest scorer of the USEA Young Event Horse 5-year-old Championships, both East and West Coast Championships combined, with cash that will enable them to travel to the FEI World Young Horse Championships at Mondial du Lion in Le Lion d’Angers, France for the 7-year-old three-star Championships.
Grant recipients who are North American bred will be awarded with $17,500 to travel to Le Lion d’Angers. If the grant recipient is an imported horse he will be awarded $8,000.
If the highest scoring 5-year-old does not *qualify or is unable to attend Mondial du Lion, the money will be awarded to the next highest scorer who is qualified, able, and willing to go.** Owners of grant eligible horses must notify the USEA of their intentions to compete in the Championships by September 1st of the year in which the horse turns 7 years of age.
The intention of this grant is to further develop an upward pathway for U.S. Team horses in eventing. The eligibility of top-placing YEH horses remains with the horse, regardless of change of rider after the 5-year-old YEH Championships, but for the Lion d’Angers grant, only USEF-sponsored 7-year-old entries will qualify. Thus, only horses ridden by United States citizens will be eligible.
This prize began with the high score winner at the 2013 USEA Young Event Horse Championships who would then attend the 2015 World Young Horse Championships.
