On August 27, 2018, the US Equestrian Board of Directors approved a rule change requiring that, effective January 1, 2019, all US Equestrian (USEF) adult members with a Competing Membership must complete USEF's Safe Sport training in order to be eligible to participate in USEF activities. Members can immediately access the free Safe Sport training directly through their member dashboard or you can go the USEF webpage Safe Sport | US Equestrian (usef.org) to learn more. US Equestrian encourages members to complete the training as soon as possible. Training must be completed before competing. If you do not complete the SafeSport training, you will be ineligible to compete at USEF-licensed horse shows.
