The United States Equestrian Federation (USEF or US Equestrian) is the national governing body for most equestrian sports in the United States.[4][5] It also recruits, trains, and governs American teams in international equestrian competition at the Olympics and other competitions governed by the International Federation for Equestrian Sports (FEI).

In 1917 the Association of American Horse Shows' was established, later changing its name to the American Horse Shows Association (AHSA) in 1933 and then to USA Equestrian (USAE) in 2001. In 2003, the association reincorporated as the United States Equestrian Federation. Today the organization governs nationally-recognized competitions for several horse breeds and multiple equestrianism disciplines.

As the result of a 2004 settlement with the United States Olympic Committee, the USEF became the national governing body for equestrian sport. In turn, the United States Equestrian Team (USET) which had previously managed international equestrian matters for the United States, became a charitable foundation to support the USEF’s “high-performance programs and Olympic and Paralympic efforts.”[6]
