The money raised will support the United States Equestrian Federation’s

pilot program for Human Sports Science and Medicine (HSSM), which is

vitally important in preparing riders for the upcoming Olympic Games where

every detail of the preparation will be critical to success. The Equine Sports

Science Medicine (ESSM) and HSSM personnel will be working together in a

conjoined approach which will allow riders to improve their preparation for

and performance at Rio 2016 as well as other Championships by working on

their imbalances and injury prevention. The program will interact with riders’

trainers and SSM personnel so all support provided is coordinated with a focus

on performance. Further information on the Program will be released to athletes

and other key stakeholders by the USEF once the final details are in place.
