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.

USEA Educational Activity Highlight: Sherwood Forest Hunter Pace | Sherwood Oregon | July 13, 2024
What’s a Hunter Pace? The Sherwood Forest Equestrian Center's Hunter Pace is a cross-country-style course around Sherwood Forest over various natural obstacles/terrain. The course ends with a final treat for riders to take in stunning views of Mt. Hood with a loop through the old Far Hill Farms field. The beginning of the course will first start with a warm-up loop around show jumping obstacles in the outdoor ring at Sherwood Forest and then riders will continue directly onto the course. Sign up as a solo rider, pair, or team.
