The U.S. Equestrian Federation has announced The Dutta Corp./USEF Eventing High Performance Flight Grant recipients. Established for eventing athletes who are targeting the 2024 Olympic Games, the grants were awarded to Will Coleman and Chin Tonic HS and Boyd Martin and Fedarman B. 

USEF awarded the two air transportation grants with a value up to $20,000 each to be used toward horse flight expenses for the combinations as they aim for Les 5 Étoiles de Pau CCI5*-L (France), Oct. 26-29. 

Coleman (Ocala, Florida) and Chin Tonic HS, an 11-year-old Holsteiner gelding owned by Hyperion Stud, LLC, won the Carolina International CCI4*-S (North Carolina) and were 11th in the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event CCI5*-L in the horse’s five-star debut.
