USA EQUESTRIAN RELEASES
ADVISORY TO RECOGNIZED COMPETITIONS |
In the wake of Tuesday's terrorist tragedy in the
United States, USA Equestrian (formerly AHSA) today released an advisory to all
Recognized Competitions scheduled during upcoming weeks.
"The sport's rules have evolved logically over many decades," said
Lori Rawls, Executive Director, "and take into account unforeseeable
circumstances such as we witnessed yesterday, as well as their consequences.
Our staff is handling many inquiries from competition managements, officials,
and members alike."
The advisory is available on USA Equestrian's website at
http://www.ahsa.org/competitions/CompetitionMemo.html.
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.
