Dear riders and competitors,
With eventing season well underway, we would like to bring a few important reminders to your attention:
1. Qualification Responsibility: It is the competitor's responsibility to ensure they are properly qualified to compete at the level they are entering. While the USEA will make every effort to verify qualifications, it is ultimately up to the rider to confirm their eligibility.
Need to freshen up on your knowledge on qualifications? Please refer to the USEF Rules for Eventing.
2. Horse Ownership Update: If you are the owner of a USEA-registered horse, please ensure your ownership information is up to date in the USEA database. There is currently no fee for changing ownership details.
To update your horse's ownership, you will need the horse's USEA registered name and a copy of your bill of sale. Please search the USEA horse database before creating a NEW registration for your horse, to prevent duplicate registrations and incomplete competition results history. Transfer of ownership remains PENDING, until a copy of your Bill of Sale is either uploaded or submitted to the USEA office for approval.
Accurate ownership information is crucial to prevent any discrepancies at your next event and for accurate reporting in all USEA related media. You can update this information online through USEA Online Services or by contacting Member Services at [email protected].
3. Contact Information Update: Members, competitors, and owners, please ensure your email address and phone number is updated in your USEA account. Email is our primary method of communication, and keeping your contact information current is essential for receiving important information and updates from the USEA.
You can update this information online through USEA Online Services or by contacting Member Services at [email protected].
4. SafeSport Certification: Please ensure that all required SafeSport trainings are completed at the start of your competition season. Please review the SafeSport section of our Frequently Asked Questions page for more information on SafeSport requirements.
Thank you for your attention to these matters. We wish you a successful and enjoyable eventing season!
Best regards,
USEA Member Services

Ros Canter and Lordships Graffalo were pure class in the final, tense moments of the MARS Badminton Horse Trials, jumping faultlessly to regain the title they won two years ago by just 1 penalty.
