Funding and Developing High Performance Equestrian Teams with Philip Richter and Will Connell

In this video, Philip Richter, Trustee and Treasurer of the United States Equestrian Team Foundation (USET), and Will Connell, United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) Former Director of Sport, discuss how the two organizations work as partners to fund, develop, and implement high performance programs and pathways. Richter explains the specific roles for each organization and how both the USET and the USEF contribute to helping athletes reach the podium in international sport. While the USET’s primary goal is fundraising to support equestrian teams, Connell explains how USEF then utilizes those funds to sustain high performance success, and why this is so critical for developing athlete pathways and for contributing to U.S. Team achievements, in turn inspiring future generations of equestrians.
