Many events hold only “Open” divisions where professionals and amateurs compete in one division. As a service to our amateur members, the USEA has established a system to recognize amateurs who are not always able to earn qualifications for the American Eventing Championships (AEC) or earn enough points for the USEA Year-End Award Leaderboards. While we have many amateurs who are competitive in the Open divisions, our hope is that more of our amateurs will receive an opportunity to qualify for the designated Amateur or Junior divisions at the AEC.
