When you participate in an USEF-licensed competition, you are assured of the highest standard of fair competition and a safe environment. These result from the application of our carefully developed and time-tested rules, our licensing and educating of the sport's most competent officials, our highly respected equine drug testing program, insurance requirements for our competitions, and an impartial hearing process for the resolution of disputes which protects the interests of both competitor and competition management alike. Our extensive Award and Championship programs reward competitors in most of our breeds and disciplines on a zone, district, regional, and national basis.

Be part of the country's largest multi-breed equestrian organization and receive these benefits.
