This episode of the USEA Podcast is all about the future stars of the sport. We dive into the USEA Young Event Horse Program with two riders who topped the 2025 USEA YEH championships with their promising young mounts on opposite sides of the country, Nicholas Cwick and Arielle Aharoni. From how the format really works, to producing confidence in 4- and 5-year-olds, to what it takes to give young horses the best start in the sport, they take us through their seasons and the horses who rose to the moment. A great listen if you want the inside view on bringing the next generation up the levels.
Plus, Nicole speaks with Michaela Callie, Executive Director of We Ride Together, about safeguarding, abuse prevention, and the importance of education in sport. Michaela introduces Out of Bounds, a new PSA series exploring survivor experience, grooming, and institutional response, alongside Agano, a free weighted comfort horse that connects individuals to support and resources.
