Safe Sport: For Junior Competitors

US Equestrian is committed to keeping our youngest athletes safe. This webpage was designed to help our junior competitors (those under 18 years of age). Safe Sport is a major piece in the puzzle towards ensuring a safe environment in sport for all athletes. Below you will find helpful resources, both from US Equestrian and from the Center for SafeSport. From flyers on bullying and mental health resources, to trainings for kids and teens on Safe Sport, this is a great starting point. At the end of the day, we want to ensure to the best of our ability that all competitors, but especially our junior competitors can compete safely and grow their love of horses and equestrian sport.
