6 Year Olds - Developing Horse Series

Vision of the USEF Eventing Developing Horse Series

The USEF Eventing Developing Horse Series seeks to strengthen the U.S. Eventing Pathway by providing an accessible and engaging platform that identifies and tracks promising young horses as they progress towards the upper levels of the sport. The Series aims to cultivate a deeper talent pool of horses capable of achieving Pathway Program criteria and ultimately participating on future U.S. Eventing Teams.

Understanding the Leaderboard

The Six-Year-Old leaderboard is open to horses that are six years old, per their FEI recorded age. The final score on the leaderboard is identified in December of the respective calendar year and utilizes the average of the two lowest finishing scores as outlined below:
