The USEF Elite Training Center Program has been placed on hold until further notice.  No new applications will be considered at this time.

US Equestrian (USEF) is grateful for, and reliant on, facilities that are developed and maintained to the necessary high standards required for the training of U.S. teams and athletes that will represent the U.S. on the international stage.

The USEF Elite Training Center Program allows venue owners to submit an application for their venue to be classified as an Elite Training Center. Venues that apply must have hosted at least one USEF-sanctioned team, developing rider, or horse training session within the last year, in one of the nine disciplines for which USEF runs programs. Venues will need to meet certain criteria in terms of facilities offered and the quality of those facilities in order to be granted Elite Training Center status.

Chosen venues are showcased as facilities instrumental in providing USEF high-performance training sessions.
