Our Modified HT division will only be held at USEA events.

Reminder: All riders must bring their own bridle tags/saddle pins and rider pinny holders. Horses must wear their show number while on show grounds. Riders must wear their number during the XC phase; riders are encouraged to wear their number during the SJ phase and in warm-up areas. We provide paper pinny inserts for rider’s pinny holder in rider’s packet. We do NOT provide bridle tags.
