USEF Disciplines Members For Rule Violations

The United States Equestrian Federation (“USEF”) recently published more than a dozen notices of disciplinary actions taken against members for a variety of rule violations. In three horse welfare/sportsmanship cases, one member was suspended for a month for overworking a horse at a competition, a second member was suspended for a month for overusing a whip on a horse, and then tying it up as punishment, and a third member was censured for kicking her horse in its front leg.
