US Equestrian has announced the extension of the Area Declaration deadline for the Adequan/USEF Eventing Youth Team Challenge to February 15, 2021. All interested U.S. athletes must submit an Area Declaration and a one-time application for the upcoming competition year.

The USEA Year-End Awards Ceremony is held annually during the USEA Annual Meeting & Convention in December. This year, with the USEA Annual Meeting & Convention being held virtually, the decision was made to host a special virtual Year-End Awards Ceremony as well. At 6:30 p.m. ET on Friday, January 8, the eventing community gathered virtually to celebrate the accomplishments of its members in 2020.

The USEA invites everyone to join the greatest eventing celebration that takes place every year – the USEA National Year-End Awards Ceremony! Taking place the evening before the first event of 2021, the 2020 USEA Year-End Awards Ceremony will be held virtually via Zoom Webinar on Friday, January 8 at 6:30 p.m. Eastern time.

The Sunday morning Board of Governors typically closes out the USEA Annual Meeting & Convention, but this year the meeting was held over three hours on Tuesday night via Zoom Webinar. With an extensive agenda to cover, the USEA Board, including the four new members who were elected at Saturday’s Annual Meeting, made motions, voted, and fairly conducted the business of the Association.

Traditionally, two USEA Board of Governors meetings are held during the USEA Annual Meeting & Convention that takes place every December. This year, with the USEA Annual Meeting & Convention being held virtually, the two Board of Governors meetings have been condensed into one and will be held virtually tomorrow, Tuesday, December 15 at 6:00 p.m. Eastern time via Zoom.

The 2020 USEA Virtual Annual Meeting was an experience unlike any other, and over 210 people attended Saturday’s meeting. Not only was Saturday’s Annual Meeting and keynote address a success, but in coordination with various sponsors and partners, the USEA was able to bring its members and followers additional educational experiences.

Every year, the USEA hosts its Annual Meeting to celebrate the sport and bring together its members. This year's Annual Meeting and & Keynote Address was held virtually via Zoom, and for the first time ever the full meeting is available to be viewed on demand! The Annual Meeting reviews the past year in eventing and future goals for 2021.

The USEA Annual Meeting of Members has been held without fail every year since 1959 and while this year members of the USEA couldn’t gather in person, they gathered virtually to do the business of the Association and enjoy the keynote speeches.
