2023 Rule Change Proposal Comment Period Now Open

By Leslie Mintz - USEA Staff

Earlier this year the USEA announced a new rule change proposal schedule for the 2023 eventing season in an effort to keep the membership better informed, and it is now time for the membership to weigh in on rule change proposals for 2023.

As a reminder, all rules for eventing are under the jurisdiction of the US Equestrian Federation (USEF) and the U.S. Eventing Association (USEA) only has the ability to put forth rule changes proposals for consideration by the USEF.

The online eventing rule change proposal comment portal is now open and the USEA encourages all members to participate in providing feedback on the 2023 rule change proposals.

Access the portal here and login using your USEA Online Services account.

The comment period ends on January 17, 2022, so be sure to submit your survey before that date.

USEA Annual Meeting & Convention attendees had the opportunity to discuss the rule change proposals in person at the annual Rule Change Open Forum. Read a recap of the meeting here or watch the full video below.

Lieberman and Mustang Bear Neccessities Conquer the AEC

When 15-year-old Sophia Lieberman first laid eyes on her dapple gray mustang Bear Necessities three years ago in Alabama, she had no idea what the future might hold for them. Lieberman and her mother, Dr. Alison LaCarrubba, DVM, were on the hunt for a new project pony, and the 14-hand gelding seemed like he might be a good fit.
