Giving oral medications to horses can be an arduous task! Pastes are a little easier than other oral medications, often with a long syringe that can be placed towards the rear of the horse’s mouth. Pills, however, can be very difficult to administer to our horses.

The first USEA Board of Governors was made up of 11 members of the eventing community dedicated to educating equestrians about the sport and developing the sport’s structure at the national level. Today, the Board’s mission remains largely the same as it was in 1959, with its 21 members focused on ensuring the future of our sport.

The USEA would like to welcome back EquiAppraisal, LLC as a Contributing Level Sponsor of the 2019 USEA Educational Symposium. This year’s Symposium will take place February 18-21 in Weirsdale, Florida at the Grand Oaks Resort. EquiAppraisal has generously offered to sponsor lunch for all FEH and YEH attendees.

Several environmental conditions affect horses in the winter, and for each decrease in coldness of one degree Fahrenheit below the critical temperature, there is an increase in digestible energy requirements for body temperature maintenance.

As 2018 draws to a close, we wanted to take a moment to look back on some of the nearly 800 articles the USEA published this year, covering topics ranging from horse health, rider fitness, young horse training and to event coverage from the biggest events in the country. Whether you’re a competitor, owner, breeder, volunteer, organizer, official, or supporter of the sport of eventing, the USEA has something for everyone!

Over 12,895 members, 235 recognized events, and 42,000 entries - the United States Eventing Association (USEA) has come a long way since its inception in 1959. In 2019, USEA will mark its 60^th anniversary, and in 60 years the USEA has seen it all: the ups and downs, the victories and heartbreak, and the countless individuals who have kept the sport of three-day eventing alive.

On the final USEA Podcast of 2018, USEA President Carol Kozlowski reflects on the past two years of her presidency and what she hopes to accomplish during her third and final year as President in 2019. Then, USEA President Elect Max Corcoran, who will take over from Kozlowski in 2020, talks about her background and her vision for the future of the USEA.

The highlight of the 2018 USEA Annual Meeting & Convention was the USEA's Eventing Hall of Fame Gala where, amid smiles, laughter, and even some tears, Karen O'Connor, Dr. A. Martin "Marty" Simensen, Out and About, Howard Simpson, Tim and Nina Gardner, and Captain Mark Phillips joined the 40 other eventing legends in the USEA's Eventing Hall of Fame.

The United States Eventing Association (USEA) is pleased to announce their continued Corporate Sponsor partnership with Standlee Premium Western Forage®, the “Official Forage of the USEA.”
