Education

USAWE’s goal in developing education programs is to support every member of our community—whether you are just beginning your journey as a rider, advancing your professional coaching career, officiating competitions, or helping to grow the sport through managing competitions or field learning activities.

Our newest goal is to provide clear, accessible instruction for foundational riders (L1-L5), ensuring that newcomers have the knowledge and resources they need to succeed and enjoy working equitation. We hope to roll that out in 2026.

Beyond that, USAWE has developed dedicated programs for Licensed Officials, Professional Instructors, Competition Managers, and Affiliate Organizations. Each of these programs is designed to deepen expertise, promote consistency, and uphold the integrity of Working Equitation across all levels of participation.

Through these educational opportunities, we aim to build a strong, connected community that shares a common understanding of the rules, values, and traditions of Working Equitation. Whether in the arena, at the judge’s table, working with students, practicing with friends, or working behind the scenes, our education programs are here to guide, support, and inspire.
