1) The fostering of local, regional, national, and international amateur sports competitions, including educational activities, promotional activities, and competitions related to the sport of Working Equitation in the United States in a way that promotes the welfare of the horse and the practice of good horsemanship.

2) The fostering of national or international amateur sports competitions primarily to conduct national or international competition in sports and to support and develop amateur athletes for national or international competition in sports.

USAWE was accepted in March of 2022 as a member country of the World Association of Working Equitation.

Working Equitation is a unique, fun, and interesting sport that captures the hearts of nearly everyone who pursues it.
