Regulating Horse Welfare
Learn about GR838, the USEF rule that addresses cruelty, abuse, and the unethical treatment of horses. This includes any actions or inactions that may compromise the horse's health, safety, or well-being. We rely on participants like you to take a stand against unethical treatment of horses by reporting it to USEF.

US Equestrian Announces Schedule for 2025 Horse Safety and Welfare Town Halls
Following a successful first edition in early June 2025, US Equestrian is releasing the dates and locations of future town hall events focusing on equine safety and welfare. These discussions are designed to facilitate conversation between the Federation and participants across breeds and sports as US Equestrian considers how it can better support the well-being of our equine partners.
These town halls are open to all and will include USEF staff panelists, as well as affiliate organization representatives when possible.
