    British Equestrian Announces Concussion and Return to Riding Guidelines

    March 3, 2023 / No Comments

    If you ride horses, chances are you have fallen off a time or two. Which can cause a concussion. Concussion is an injury to the brain resulting in a disturbance of brain function. It can be causedby a direct blow to the head, but can also occur when a blow to another part of the body resultsin rapid movement of the head, such as whiplash-type injuries. Loss of consciousness does not always occur – in fact, it occurs in less than 10% of concussions. None of this info is new. What is new, is that there has never been a “Return to Riding” guideline or outline available, until now. In…

    Trainer/Coach abuse of Young Riders

    May 29, 2018 / No Comments

    Today the New York Times published a story providing further details on now-deceased equestrian trainer Jimmy Williams and his abuse of young riders. In addition to describing Williams’ inappropriate and unacceptable actions, the article also discusses how painfully difficult it can be for survivors, athletes, and even parents to recognize the signs of abuse and report it. US Equestrian wants you to know: if you are a victim of abuse, it is never too late to come forward and make a report. You will be supported and an investigation will be conducted.

    Vaccine Rules for this Competition Year

    March 28, 2018 / No Comments

    If you compete, and any of those competitions are USEF licensed, then you need to stay up to date on the vaccine/vaccination rules. Also, be sure to find out the rules/regulations for your show’s manager and the facility you are showing at. Sometimes these can vary and be more strict, or also require things such as a veterinary health check prior to arrival at the grounds. We put a lot of money into each competition so we don’t want to get turned away at the gate for any reason!

    If you can’t Give, Do.

    January 19, 2018 / No Comments

    Are you involved in any equestrian sport or organization? Chances are, they are a non-profit and rely heavily on participation and donations from members to keep running. If you can join, and/or donate – they will be extremely thankful. But if you cannot help out financially, there are still other ways to give back. Many of these organizations need volunteers to help with events, and MANY other tasks to keep the organization running smoothly.

    December 29, 2017 / No Comments

    With all the recent changes to regulations regarding horse trailering, it’s no wonder many of us are left dazed & confused. Get the details here on what you need to do to stay legal while hauling your horse, or anyone else’s horse! ELD’s or Electronic Logging Devices The electronic logging device (ELD) rule – congressionally mandated as a part of MAP-21 – is intended to help create a safer work environment for drivers, and make it easier and faster to accurately track, manage, and share records of duty status (RODS) data.

    What is English Pleasure?

    November 11, 2017 / No Comments

    English pleasure can trace its roots to the bygone era when horses represented the primary mode of transportation to and from town. Society members prided themselves with showing off their elegant and finely-trained saddle mounts as they rode through the parks and into town, dressed in their finest hacking attire. These horses exemplified smooth-gaited movement, impeccable manners and superior tractability, making them a true pleasure to ride.
