US Equestrian is taking significant steps to broaden discussions on equine welfare with the introduction of a new Town Hall Series. This initiative, following a successful Equine Safety and Welfare Town Hall, is designed to facilitate constructive conversations between the Federation and participants from various equestrian backgrounds to enhance the care of equine athletes.
The inaugural town hall, held at the Split Rock Hunter Jumper Classic II in Kentucky, saw USEF staff engaging with attendees to address the changing landscape of equine welfare standards and expectations. Additional events are scheduled throughout summer and fall 2025, including a session at Stable View’s Oktoberfest in September, with further meetings planned in Florida and California during the winter season.
These upcoming town hall events, open to the public, will feature panels comprising USEF staff and representatives from affiliate organizations where possible. Specific details regarding dates, times, and locations within each host venue will be communicated once finalized by USEF and show management. For the most current schedule, interested parties can visit the USEF website.
Recognizing the importance of inclusivity, an online town hall will be held before the year concludes to ensure broader participation for those unable to attend in person. US Equestrian is also encouraging written feedback on equine welfare and suggestions for advancing the sport, which can be submitted via email to the provided address.
By fostering open dialogue and collaboration, US Equestrian’s Town Hall Series signifies a proactive approach to enhancing equine welfare across all equestrian disciplines. Through these interactive forums, the organization aims to drive positive change and elevate the well-being of equine athletes within the industry.
