Horse sport organizations
Horse sport organizations are governing bodies that oversee equestrian competitions, setting rules, standards, and safety protocols to ensure fair and consistent events. They organize and regulate various disciplines like show jumping, dressage, and eventing, providing certification for riders, trainers, and horses. These organizations also promote the development of the sport, educate participants, and uphold ethical practices within the equestrian community. Examples include the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) globally and national bodies like the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF). Their goal is to support the growth, integrity, and safety of horse sports worldwide.
