Equestrian: United States Equestrian
Federation: A Brief Review
The United States Equestrian Federation or USEF formerly bore
the name of American Horse Shows Association. USEF is the
national foremost institution which handles the equestrian
sports that there are in the United States. Among those
equestrian sports which the Untied States Equestrian Federation
administers include the eventing, dressage driving, hunt seat
equitation, endurance riding, hunting, jumping, roadster,
paralympic, reigning, vaulting, saddle seat equitation, trail,
western equitation, and several other related equestrian events.
The job scope of the USEF is so vast that it is a recognized
governing body in equestrian related activities. The following
are the job functions and scope of USEF.
The breed shows such as the Lusitano, Andalusian, Arabian,
Anglo-Arabian, half-Arabian, Friesian, Connemara, Hackney,
American Saddlebred, Morgan, Paso Fino, National Show Horse,
Shetland, and the Welsh breeds that are practically conducted in
the whole of the Untied States are all governed by none other
that the United States Equestrian Federation.
It is also the task of the United States Equestrian Federation
to closely monitor the yearly points earned by the competitors
in the horse shows and other related events. The points are
actually accrued by the individual horse shows all throughout
the year. USEF then renders special awards to the winners and
their merits are based on the accumulated points. The points are
summed up at the end of every year. The horse shows which are
under the wings of the United States Equestrian Federation are
rated with AA, A, B, or C ratings. The shows that earn the AA
ratings are those which are considered to be the most prominent
ones in the country and big prizes come at stake too. However,
those shows which are rated with a C are those called local
horse shows and of course, a lesser amount of money is specified
for a prize.
The other governing organizations that work hand in hand with
USEF are the United States Hunter/Jumper Association or USHJA,
the United States Dressage Federation or USDF, and the United
States Eventing Association or USEA. All of the competitions
which are spearheaded by the abovementioned governing
organizations are ruled by the bylaws set by USEF itself.
A Brief History of the United States Equestrian Federation
Everything started to boil up in January 20 of the year 1917
when the delegates from various horse shows set up a meeting in
New York City. The council was then governed by Reginald C.
Vanderbilt. The council's main goal was to unify all horse shows
and to conduct clean competitions inside the horse show ring.
They then solidified the organization under the banner of the
Association of American Horse Shows and upon its initial meeting
in the year 1918; exemplary organizers of the twenty six
prestigious horse shows were all present. By the year 1924, the
then twenty six horse show members increased to sixty seven.
By February 1933, its original name of Association of American
Horse Shows, Inc. was altered to a new one, the American Horse
Shows Association, Inc. It was in 2003 that the United States
Equestrian Team merged with the United States of America
Equestrian to form a new national governing body and the name
United States Equestrian Federation or USEF came into being.
It is the USEF that provides an all out support to all
equestrian sportspersons, establishes a clear future for all
equestrians, and endorses international excellence in the horse
sports field.
