The Race is on for the $10,000 Adequan USEA Gold Cup Series!

The 2009 Adequan USEA Gold Cup Series is off to a running start this year, and the country’s top horses and riders from coast-to-coast are already racking up points towards a year-end purse of $10,000! Horse and rider combinations from eight destination events across the country will take home cash, prizes, and points in the running to become the 2009 Year-end Adequan USEA Gold Cup champion.

At each of these eight premier events, the top division offered at the competition is the designated “Gold Cup” division, whether it be a CIC3*, Advanced, or a CIC2*.

Horses and riders must achieve points together as a pair at the Gold Cup events, and both must be members of the USEA. First place winners take home 200 points for their win, and can also earn bonus points: 50 extra points for double-clear cross-country rounds, and 40 extra points for double-clear show jumping rounds.
