USEA Events to Resume After May 31: Are You Ready?
Last night, the USEA Board of Governors chose not to extend the suspension of competitions past May 31, 2020. Not all events will be able to be held as they must follow all Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), state, and local guidelines, but those who are able to run will have to adhere to the USEF COVID-19 Action Plan which can be found in the USEF COVID-19 toolkit.
With events beginning again the first weekend of June many competitors will be anxious to head straight back out to a competition. However, after nearly three months away from events – and many more for most of the country whose season hadn’t yet started – it is important to make sure you and your horse are prepared for a safe return.
For many riders in the country, the stay at home orders kept them away from their horses, lessons, and training. As tempting as it is to enter the first horse trial held in your area – making sure you and your horse are fit and ready should be at the forefront of your mind. Here’s a checklist for all eventers to reference as they return to competition.
The USEA allowed educational activities to resume after May 13, 2020, and these are a great way to prepare for a full event. View the list of USEA educational activities here.

Before competing be sure to review the USEF COVID-19 Action Plan and the resources available in the USEF Licensed Competitions COVID-19 Toolkit.
