Advanced Final
Adequan® USEA Advanced Final
In partnership with Adequan, the USEA will host the Adequan USEA Advanced Final at the 2026 USEA American Eventing Championships from August 26-28.
In 2019, the USEA opened up the AEC Advanced qualifications to provide more opportunities nationwide to qualify to compete in the final. Instead of qualifying for the final at 11 designated Gold Cup events, riders will now have many opportunities to qualify at Advanced level and CCI events.
To qualify for the Adequan USEA Advanced Final at the AEC on August 26-28, 2026, competitors will need to complete a minimum of two events without cross-country jump penalties at any USEA Advanced recognized horse trials, a CCI4*-S, a CCI4*-L , or a CCI5*-L, including the World Championships and Olympic Games. The qualifying period for the 2026 AEC is May 20, 2025 – August 11, 2026.
