FEH classes are to be held in accordance with USEA FEH Rules, which can be found on the USEA website. In these classes, horses are shown one at a time and on the triangle. Please note that these classes are for horses between the ages of one and three years old. Yearlings may be shown in either a halter or a bridle; 2- and 3-year-olds must be shown in a bridle with either reins or a New Market shank.

Will Coleman had a huge 2022 with his string of horses, including a team silver medal at the FEI World Eventing Championship in Italy on Off The Record and top four-star placings with Chin Tonic HS, but it was Dondante whose consistency paid off to earn the Standlee Premium Western Forage USEA Horse of the Year title.
Julie Murray has loved horses since she could breathe, so when her daughters showed an interest in Pony Club and then eventing, she was thrilled to go along for the ride.
Murray started volunteering at the Fallbrook Pony Club near her home in Fallbrook, California, serving as an intermediate district commissioner.
