Coronavirus Disease Resources and Updates

The United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) is closely monitoring the information regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.  Our number one priority is the safety and welfare of our members, staff and their families.  While the number of current cases in the United States is low, we recognize the growing concerns of our community with respect to the potential for an increase in cases in the coming weeks.

The USEF Executive Team meets regularly to review the communications on this illness issued from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) and other health organizations. We have created this resource hub so that you can stay up to date on the most current information available.

Managing your risk of exposure to the Coronavirus is essential to maintaining good health.  At this time, it is appropriate to be cognizant of proper hygiene and incorporating common sense actions into your everyday activities in order to prevent the spread of this virus.  Practices such as regularly washing your hands with soap and water or an alcohol based hand sanitizer; practicing good sneeze and cough hygiene; avoiding touching your mouth, nose and eyes with unwashed hands; avoiding close contact with people who are sick; and disinfecting and cleaning often touched objects and surfaces can help reduce your risk of exposure. 

Please contact your local healthcare provider with any questions or personal concerns about Coronavirus Disease.

We will continue to monitor this issue and provide updates as needed. 

Coronavirus Impact on USEF Licensed Competitions

Effective Monday, March 16, 2020, all USEF owned events, selection trials, training camps, clinics, and activities will be suspended for the next 30 days.

USEF strongly recommends that competition organizers suspend all USEF licensed competitions across the country for the next 30 days and that equestrians do not compete for the next 30 days. For those competitions that do run, there will be no accumulation of points, scores, money won, qualifications, or rankings toward any USEF awards programs, USEF owned event, or selection to a US team during this 30-day time period. This includes USEF National Championships.

Resources from the CDC, WHO, USOPC, and the FEI are available on usef.org/media/coronavirus-resources. Links found on this webpage provide you with direct access to valuable information on each organization’s website which is updated regularly.
