The USDA’s National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS) is in the development stage of its upcoming fourth national study of the U.S. equine industry and is seeking your involvement to shape the study’s objectives. This is your opportunity to communicate the information you want to know about the equine industry.
To provide your input, use this 10-minute survey. The survey will be open through October 1, 2023. We encourage individuals and organizations to share the link to this survey with friends, colleagues, and members.
The NAHMS equine study, tentatively planned for 2026, will provide important information about management practices used on U.S. equine operations and will take a national, in-depth look at the industry’s most pressing health issues. Your input is essential if we are to address specific needs and information gaps in the equine industry.
Results of previous NAHMS studies of the equine industry, including our most recent study from 2015, are available here.
Inquiries regarding the survey or NAHMS equine studies may be sent to [email protected].
With 2025 just days away, we thought it would be fun to take a look back at some of the top moments for the USEA across the 2024 season. Take a trip down memory lane with us and relive these high-performing moments from our online news, the USEA Podcast, and our Instagram account!
Eventers who are new to the sport may feel a little overwhelmed by the often-misunderstood world of saddle fitting. Riders are often bombarded with information from peers online or self-described experts, putting them at risk of following bad advice related to equipment that impacts horse welfare perhaps more than any other piece of tack. Finding a qualified expert to answer these questions is crucial. Who better to turn to than both a qualified Master Saddle Fitter and a fourth-generation saddle designer to answer some of these questions?
