USA Equestrian Releases Call to End Challenge

USA Equestrian (formerly AHSA) issued a statement today by its president, Alan F. Balch, addressed to his fellow USET trustees in the wake of the finding by New Jersey Superior Court that the USET's corporate actions this year are "null and void."

Balch appeals for an end to the USET's expensive and divisive challenge, and a return to the historic cooperative relationship between the two organizations which has successfully governed the sport for 50 years.

The statement is available at

USA Equestrian Inc., as the National Equestrian Federation of the U.S., is the regulatory body for the Olympic and World Championship sports of dressage, driving, endurance, eventing, reining, show jumping, and vaulting, as well as 19 other breeds and disciplines of equestrian competition. As the country's largest multi-breed organization, the Federation has over 77,000 members and recognizes more than 2,800 competitions nationwide each year. It governs all aspects of competition, including educating and licensing all judges, stewards, and technical delegates who officiate at these shows.
