U.S. Equestrian Website To Debut on July 24

Gladstone, New Jersey and Lexington, Kentucky—July 23, 2003—The new website of U.S. Equestrian, the expected new National Governing Body (NGB) for equestrian sport, will debut on Thursday, July, 24.

The website, developed by representatives of USA Equestrian and the United States Equestrian Team (USET), will be available by accessing the address, www.usef.org.

The website is in the preliminary development stages and will continue to evolve and expand in preparation of U.S. Equestrian Federation becoming the NGB for equestrian sport on December 1, 2003. The website contains current information on the status of the new NGB, expected to be approved by the U.S. Olympic Committee this fall. Included are details on the timetable for the start of the NGB, its by-laws, officers, Board of Directors and various working groups.

There is also a section for news, links to the websites of USA Equestrian and the USET, and a way to contact the executive directors of those two organizations. Shortly, there will be a special section for equestrian athletes. Until the approval of the new NGB by the USOC, both websites, www.equestrian.org and www.uset.org will continue operating. Once USOC approval is granted to U.S. Equestrian, these sites will transform into the websites of the USA Equestrian Trust and the USET Foundation.

“We anticipate that the U.S. Equestrian website will eventually become the definitive source of information for people interested in our sport,” said USET Executive Director Bonnie B. Jenkins. “We appreciate all the time and work that has been put in to get the Federation started.”

“This has been a joint project of USA Equestrian and the USET,” said USA Equestrian Executive Director Lori L. Rawls. “We are very excited to have it go live and we invite everyone interested in equestrian sports to visit the site and give us their feedback.”


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 80,000 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.
VISION STATEMENT
The vision of USA Equestrian is to provide leadership for equestrian sport in the United States of America, promoting the pursuit of excellence from the grass roots to the Olympic Games, based on a foundation of fair, safe competition and the welfare of its horses, and embracing this vision, to be the best national equestrian federation in the world.
