About USEA Safety Coordinator Certification
In 2017, the USEA released an online test and certification for eventing safety coordinators. In accordance with United States Equestrian's (USEF) Rules for Eventing rule EV113 (4), all competitions are required to have a safety coordinator “who shall be responsible for the establishment and coordination of medical services.” The test itself derives its questions from the USEA Safety Coordinator Manual. While the certification is not currently mandatory, it is highly recommended that all safety coordinators at USEA competitions complete the test.
