We look forward to hearing from you and truly appreciate all your help and support! For more details please read the Sponsor Request Letter.

Protocol and Rules Updates
Drug Rules Understood
Equine sports are subject to drug rules and drug testing; Dressage and Eventing are no exception. Both horses and human athletes are subject to drug restrictions. In the US and Canada, rules governing drug administration are written and enforced by FEI, USEF, AQHA, Equine Canada, and some state organizations. The rules can be discipline specific or breed specific.
