Welcome to MSEDA's new website! I know all of you will enjoy using the features this new site offers us. Just as a start, competitions can now post their entry forms and show bills here. That should be a great service for our members, as well as our Organizers. The calendar is another feature that will be well used. There is a lot more in store for us as new features and options are made available. Are you interested in joining?  Click here for the 2013 Membership Application. 

Eventing Rule Changes!

So here we are at the start of another year – well almost the start! And it is remarkable that there are not any significant rules changes that affect the majority of Eventers. Of course, those riders on the FEI/Qualifying paths have huge changes to digest, but for the National levels it is pretty quiet. The MSEDA Competitions Committee has put together some of the new Eventing Rule Changes that you might find apply to you – or if not, at least interesting to read.
 

Reminder, MSEDA teams at Haygard Team Challenge!

Interested in Becoming a FEI Level 1 Eventing Steward?

As you all know, the FEI is now requiring that anyone Stewarding at an FEI Competition must be a Level 1 Steward. Because of this, USEF will be holding an FEI Level 1 Eventing Steward Course on April 23-24, 2013 in Lexington, KY. This course is open to interested individuals with experience seeking promotion to FEI Level 1 Eventing Steward. As a reminder, FEI competitions will be required to have a certain number of licensed Level 1 Stewards in addition to the FEI Chief Steward.

2012 MSEDA Committee Reports

New MSEDA Award for Off-Track Thoroughbreds

The thoroughbred horse epitomizes the sport of eventing.  Courage, self-reliance, independence, beauty, guts, athleticism, stamina, speed, heart – traits that accurately describe both horse and rider in our sport!  There is nothing more beautiful than a thoroughbred gliding effortlessly – not pounding the ground, not working hard, just gliding!!! – across country at speeds of 20 miles per hour or more!
