About
The Event at Rebecca Farm started with a dedicated crew of local eventers who loved the local venue, Herron Park, but knew that more was possible. The inaugural competition in 2002 put Rebecca Farm on the map. It was a huge success with over 150 competitors. In 2004, The Event became a USEF (United States Equestrian Federation) and USEA (United States Eventing Association) recognized Gold Cup Series and a Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) World Cup eventing competition.aboutrebeccafarm
During the first year as a World Cup Qualifier, The Event drew 380 competitors, a 200 rider increase from 2003. By 2009, The Event had well over 500 entries with 421 of those riders competing all four days. 2011 was one of 12 three-star (***) competitions in the U.S. and an important competition for athletes vying to go to the London Olympics in 2012.
Now, The Event runs almost 600 horses over 4 days of competition creating a $4.4 million economic impact to the local area.
"Rebecca Farm is such an amazing venue that the Broussard family brought to fruition from crop fields," said Olympian Karen O'Connor. "I have been competing internationally for two decades across 27 countries and Rebecca Farm is the best venue I have ever been to in the world.
