Would you and your horse like to dip your toes in the sport of eventing without the stress of starting with a recognized event? Consider participating in a USEA New Event Horse (NEH) competition! The USEA NEH Program was created to be an introduction to the sport of eventing for both horse and rider, and the 2024 NEH Calendar is now available here.

Get your young horse’s career started on the right foot by participating in the USEA Young Event Horse (YEH) program! The USEA established the Young Event Horse (YEH) program in 2004 to identify young horses that possess the talent and disposition to, with proper training, excel at the uppermost levels of the sport. While the goal of the YEH program is to identify horses that will be successful at the four- and five-star levels, horses with the potential for lower-level success are also showcased by the program every year.

The USEA Young Event Horse (YEH) Program was created with the mission to identify future 4- and 5-star horses, and yet again in 2023, graduates of the program proved that they were up to the task. With historic results secured by YEH grads at the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event, the FEI Eventing Nations Cups in Poland and Germany, the $60,000 Adequan Advanced Final at the USEA AEC, the Burghley Horse Trials, the Pan American Games, and the Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill, as well as gracing several USEA year-end leaderboards, the YEH program once again demonstrated that it has played a major role in the production of some of the U.S.’s top mounts.

The United States Eventing Association, Inc. (USEA) and the USEA Young Event Horse (YEH) Committee are excited to invite you to the 2024 USEA YEH Symposium! This jam-packed day of education will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 20, 2024 in Ocala, Florida, and will showcase the proper training and evaluation of young eventing prospects. The day will be split into a morning and evening session, each of which will be hosted by a panel of industry professionals and top international competitors guiding participants on the progression of Young Event Horses.
