Following Hurricane Helene, USEF is working with local agencies on the ground helping the equine population. If you are interested in giving to help their efforts, please give to our disaster relief fund at usef.org/donate..

Ensuring the safety and welfare of horses, participants, and all stakeholders at US Equestrian Competitions remains a top priority of US Equestrian. In today’s environment, this has become even more important.  Below you will find tools to assist US Equestrian Competition Organizers as well as competitors and participants with managing risks associated with the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Whether participant, competition organizer and staff, or vendor and support personnel, each of us needs to exercise caution, take precautionary measures, be accountable, and utilize good judgement at all times while interacting with one another at competitions.

USEF has put in place preventative measures aimed to reduce the spread of illnesses, including COVID-19, at its licensed competitions and following its licensed competitions; however, USEF cannot guarantee that participants or attendees will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending a licensed competition could increase the risk contracting an illness, including COVID-19. Anyone attending a USEF licensed competition assumes the risk of contracting an illness, including the COVID-19 virus.
