USEA Collegiate Team Challenge
FENCE is once again proud to be the host location for the USEA Collegiate Team Challenge hosted this year by Clemson University Eventing Team!

Unlike the Scratch Teams described at right.... The Collegiate Teams can be made up of members competing in different divisions, i.e. Starter Division, Beg Nov, Novice, Training,Prelim individuals can all be on the same team - provided all are from the same college!

In addition to the teams consisting of individuals currently attending college, Alumni can make up a team of their own from their alma mater!

So far we are excited to welcome teams from
  • Clemson

Scratch Team Challenge

Not in college but want to be on a team???  NOT A PROBLEM!!!
Want to make more eventing friends???? Super solution!

Once again FENCE Horse Trials is offering a Scratch Team Challenge....
Teams consist of three or four riders per team, all team members must be competing at the same level (Starter, BN, N, T, or P) HOWEVER your team can consist of junior, professional, as well as senior riders, as long as everyone is entered at the same division!  The best three scores from each team will be used to determine final team standings, and yes, this is in addition to your individual placing. Prizes will be awarded to the first plce winners of each Division at the conclusion of the event.

There is not extra fee, no extra paperwork, simply let the event secretary know you wish to be placed on a team, OR make up your own team and let the event secretary know your team members & team name! 
Yes, it is that easy....and fun!
 It Takes A Village!!!

USEA New Rules for 2014

Beginner Novice Riders:All Beginner Novice Riders must have a USEA ID number. ID numbers do not require membership and can be created by going to the USEA home page and clicking on Online Services. Click "New User?" to create profile.

Beginner Novice Horses: All horses competing at the Beginner Novice level must be registered with at least a restricted status. There is no cost to register a horse with restricted status, but the owner or rider must have a USEA ID number to register the horse.

Beginner Novice Competitors: Do you want your competition results to count for the year-end leaderboard and be saved on your record? Do you want to qualify for the AEC? If so, then register with the USEA before your next competition. In 2014, the USEA will extend a 14-day grace period for Beginner Novice level riders to join the USEA, renew their memberships or to register their horse. Note: This applies to the Beginner Novice level only.   
 
Novice and above Horses and Riders: USEA mandates that all riders and horse competing in USEA recognized competitions at the Novice Level and above must have a valid competing USEA horse registration and USEA Membership. ALL Foreign competitors including Canada and Mexico must have a valid USEA membership and horse registration to compete.
