CEO Message

Dear Fellow Equestrians,

The efforts of our equestrian community to resume competitive sport while navigating a pandemic have been nothing short of amazing. Together, we have shown the world that equestrians can meet adversity head on, and identify and act on the opportunities to move forward with our sport in as safe a way as possible.

The lessons we have all learned this past year are helping us to continue keeping our sport operating. Collectively, US Equestrian, our Affiliates and our Education Partners have made great strides in ensuring that our sport is a welcoming, inclusive and inviting place for people of all ages and all walks of life, and for horses of all levels of training and competitive experience. 2021 proved to be a remarkable year for USEF and our members. Many competitions experienced record numbers of participants, athletes achieved major results both nationally and internationally including a total of five medals at the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo, strong participation in USEF and Affliate National Championships, and USEF’s former president and Olympic athlete David O’Connor became the first equestrian to be awarded the General Douglas MacArthur Exemplary Service Award from the United States Olympic Endowment.

As we move into 2022, we look forward to working with our members, Affiliates and Education Partners to effectively manage equestrian sport in a fair, safe and enjoyable manner.

Best Regards,

Bill Moroney USEF Chief Executive Officer USEF VALUES Everything we do is guided by our values of Fairness, Safety, Welfare and Enjoyment for both our horses and members.
