Boyd Named to USEF Eventing High Performance List

It's great timing for Boyd to have received the thumbs-up to compete for the USA, because he and Remington XXV have been named to the USEF Eventing High Performance Training "B" List.

Horse and rider combinations on the lists may participate in training sessions with USEF Eventing Coach Capt. Mark Phillips. Training sessions will be held in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington and California; dates to be determined. Some horse/rider combinations will receive grants for European competition and training. Grant amounts will be finalized in late July.
