ECP Levels Defined

ECP levels are defined according to the riding/training/competing and horse care knowledge and skills that a certified coach must successfully impart to their students for them to safely and competently meet the challenges presented at USEA and FEI eventing competitions. For identification of the required riding/training/competing, horse care, safety/medical, and teaching theory and practice content for each of ECP Levels, order the ECP Standards Booklet from the USEA office.
