The thrill of the 'chase lives for those who want to experience the unforgettable rush of a full format three-day event.

With an overwhelming majority of our membership supporting the Classic format, and the evident passion that has been generated at the SmartPak Equine USEA Training Three-Day Events, the USEA is committed to ensure that this level of competition continues to grow and provide the necessary experience that will ultimately produce better horsemen and horses.

Starting in 2009, the T3DE is no longer considered a USEA "test," and it is endorsed under the USEA/USEF endorsement agreement.


Eligibility: Horses and riders must be registered members of the USEA. 

Qualifications to particpate at the T3D Event Test is at the discretion of the organizer - check the individual omnibus listing for qualification criteria.

NOTE: For participation in the USEA Training Year-end Program, the competitor must be an active member and the horse properly registered.
