2024 Entry Process
WEST: All entries must be received before the event’s closing date. Event management reserves the right to deny entries sent after closing date.
EAST: Provided they are complete, event management will accept entries for the USEA YEH East Championships in the order in which they are received, including a qualifying score, by no later than the closing date. 30 horses will be accepted in the 4-year-old division; 50 horses will be accepted in the 5-year-old division. For each age group, the remaining entries that have been accepted will be placed on a wait list and pulled off the wait list in order of highest qualifying scores. Changes this year include fully complete entries in order to be accepted, with a qualifying score at time of entering/acceptance. *This will be followed as a strongly encouraged guideline in 2024, and the USEA Board of Governors has approved this as a rule in 2025.
Age Verification Requirements for Both Championships:
Age verification must be submitted with entries. The following are suitable forms of age verification that must be received: Registration Papers, (or) Certificate of Pedigree, (or) passport issued by a breed or sport horse registry approved by the Federation, (or) horse identification documents issued by a breed or sport registry, approved by the Federation that states the registered name of the horse, the registry number of the horse and age. There will be no exceptions.
