The United States Eventing Association (USEA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and supporting the sport of eventing across the United States. The USEA is divided into ten regions, known as Areas, each encompassing specific states to better serve local eventing communities.
Area IX includes Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and South Dakota. This region offers a diverse range of eventing opportunities, from grassroots competitions to advanced levels, catering to riders of all ages and abilities. The unique landscapes of Area IX provide varied terrains for the three phases of eventing: dressage, cross-country, and show jumping.
Area IX is committed to fostering a supportive community for eventing enthusiasts, ensuring access to competitions, clinics, and educational resources. It operates under the broader mission of the USEA to promote the sport of eventing and provide training opportunities for riders at all levels.
