‘True champion of eventing’: US course-designer dies in accident

International eventing course-designer Tremaine Cooper has died in an accident, aged 52.

Tremaine died while working outdoors near his farm in Bluemont, Virginia, on 13 March. A spokesman for the US Eventing Association (USEA) described him as a “true champion of eventing”.

“An athlete, course-designer, builder, father, husband, son, friend, and so much more,” said the spokesman.

“Tremaine’s quiet, thoughtful approach resulted in tremendous advancements for the sport of eventing in all areas but especially in the safety and design of cross-country courses.”
