Don't Forget About The USEA Awards Programs!
The USEA would like to remind all of our members about our fabulous awards programs. The USEA offers three different programs to reward members for their successes in eventing.
USEA Medal Program
The USEA Medal Program provides our members with recognition through a goal oriented program within the various levels of eventing. Each individual member may earn a Bronze, Silver, and/or Gold medal at the Beginner Novice, Novice, Training, and Preliminary levels. A separate medal will be awarded for a horse registered with the USEA, based on the same scores.
To earn your medal you must submit the Medal Application to the USEA office. Once the scores have been verified the member or horse owner will be provided with the associated awards for the medal achieved. Individual medal winners will earn a pin (at the level won) and certificate. The person's name will also be published on the USEA website and in the magazine. Also, Gold medal winners will be recognized in person at the USEA Convention for their achievements.
The requirements for the USEA Medal Program are available on the Awards Programs section of the USEA website.
Blue Ribbon Award Program
The Blue Ribbon Program is a stepping stone to achieving the Eventing Medals and then heading to the top of the leaderboard. The USEA will automatically post the names of Blue Ribbon qualified horses and riders on the awards section of the USEA website on a weekly basis. Award certificates will also be sent out monthly to each rider who achieves the appropriate qualifications.
To qualify for the Blue Ribbon Award which is available at the Beginner Novice through Advanced levels a horse and rider combination must place 1st through 3rd at three events in the same level in a single year. In addition both the horse and rider must have an active USEA membership at the time of the competitions.
Certificate of Horse & Rider Achievement
The Certificate of Horse & Rider Achievement is an opportunity to award our Beginner Novice members and recognize them for successfully completing events. In order to qualify for the Certificate of Horse & Rider Achievement the horse and rider together must have completed three or more events at the Beginner Novice level during the same competition year. In addition both the horse and rider must have an active USEA membership at the time of the competitions.
If you have any questions about any of the USEA Awards Programs please contact Lisa at [email protected] or 703-779-0440.

The Foundation of Success: Understanding Your Saddle's Role in Performance
Balance and stability are fundamental to success in eventing, where precision and control are demanded across three distinct phases. At this year's USEA Annual Meeting and Convention, our partner, Bates Saddles' expert presentation on saddle fit and rider position highlighted a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of our sport: how small adjustments to our equipment can lead to significant improvements in our riding.
