As a courtesy, the USEA will attempt to notify riders/owners of missing horse registration requirements prior to competition and will allow fourteen (14) days from the date of notification for the horse to be brought into compliance. After fourteen (14) days, any high-score points and/or AEC qualifications earned at that specific competition will be removed. Should the horse continue to compete without proper registration, at the fourth occurrence all points and all qualifications will be removed. When the horse is properly registered, qualifications ONLY will be re-instated

Today, the USEA boasts nearly 12,000 members from every background and every area in the U.S. Each year, around 280 USEA events take place across the nation, exhibiting the talents of riders of every age in various levels of competition. The USEA offers a multitude of educational and recreational activities to its members. Various categories and price ranges of memberships are available that truly offer something for everyone depending on your level of interest.
