The USET Foundation has just launched the public phase of its Pathway to the Podium campaign! Funds raised to date have already been at work every day across four coordinated priorities:
🎯 Supporting US Equestrian (USEF) High Performance Programs
🎯 Growing the USET Foundation’s endowment
🎯 Expanding direct athlete grant opportunities that prevent financial barriers
🎯 Contributing to key initiatives tied to the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles
Our U.S. athletes and the critical "team behind the team" that set the gold standard in horse care and athlete success rely on funding from the Pathway to the Podium campaign to bolster the USEF Programs that help make winning on the world stage possible. Now, with sights set on the FEI World Championships in Aachen this summer and ahead to LA28 on home soil, every bit of support makes an impact. We welcome the community to join us on the Pathway to the Podium campaign which will not only support our elite teams at these major championships, but simultaneously continue to develop the next generation of U.S. equestrian super stars!

Sydney Elliott and QC Diamantaire had a great finish in the Cosequin Lexington CCI4*-S and look onward as they hope to earn a spot on the FEI Eventing World Championships Aachen squad.
