For those interested in becoming an official, please see the various documents below, which are organized by breed/discipline.

Effective April 1, 2018, licensed official applicants are no longer required to submit a list of references within their application, or have a minimum number of references sent back to US Equestrian.

Effective December 1, 2017, the term “apprentice” is replacing the term “learner judge” in Chapter 10 of the US Equestrian Rule Book. This is a change in term only, to make it consistent throughout all breeds & disciplines. As we work to update & streamline our documents, please note that anything referring to “learner judge” in the forms on this page, is “apprentice” as of December 1, 2017.

• Please note that for FEI licensing:

  • Applicants must complete the requirements for the respective license BEFORE submitting their application.

  • Exceptions: Some licenses follow a separate application procedure; see respective requirement documents.

  • If you are interested in a FEI license that is not listed the documents may be in the process of being updated to reflect the FEI’s changes to licensing requirements.
