How to Qualify

How does a horse-rider pair qualify to compete in a Regional Championship show?

Only USAWE current members are eligible to compete in a championship show.

A horse-rider pair must earn a combined average of 58% or higher in Dressage and EOH (L1-L7) and successfully complete the Speed trial (L2-L7) at two USAWE-licensed shows, at least one of which has to be in the region in which the rider plans to compete. Riders may compete in more than one region. 

The qualifying period is Jan 1 of the year preceding the Regional Championships through the entry deadline for the championship show.

• • Only one score can be earned from the year preceding the championship show.
  • The other score(s) must be from the same year as the championship show.
