The Breed/Discipline Committees and Councils may be called upon by the President for advice and counsel as to technical questions regarding the conduct of classes in the Breed/Disciplines. The committee is currently comprised of 24 individuals, a large majority of whom are American event riders/competitors/instructors. USEF Licensed Officials Committee (USEF LOC) Is the USEF Committee responsible for reviewing and ruling on all applications for training programs and licensing in all breeds and disciplines recognized by USEF. Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI) The FEI is the international governing body for all Olympic equestrian disciplines, recognized as such by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

Training Sessions: These will cover dressage, cross country, jumping, and course design. Depending upon the purpose of a training session, it includes lectures, discussion, demonstration, or competition rides at levels appropriate for r or 5 updated 6/6/2013

6 R officials, and course designers at appropriate levels. Training sessions are scheduled, organized, and presented by the USEA. Independent Study: The activities of a prospective official, usually at a competition as part of the management team, designed to give an appreciation of the depth of organization required to run a successful event. These experiences will not necessarily be considered beneficial unless approved in advance by the USEA Eventing Licensed Officials Committee. Apprenticing: The prospective official sits with or accompanies the appropriate licensed official (Preceptor) at an eventing competition. Their interaction during the course of the competition provides the Preceptor with the knowledge to complete the prospective official s apprenticing evaluation form. Prior to apprenticing, the prospective official obtains permission from the competition organizer and from the licensed official who will be officiating there. For small groups of prospective officials apprenticing together, another option for the dressage training apprentice requirements only, is to hire an approved Preceptor to attend a competition with that group. Preceptor: A licensed eventing official who has completed the additional Preceptor training sessions and who is on the USEA list of officials authorized to take and evaluate apprentices. Complete information regarding Preceptors is located in Appendix 1a. The list of approved Preceptors is available in Appendix 1b. Group apprenticing with Preceptors only allowed in Dressage. Waiver: Requests for wavier of prerequisites or any portion of a training program are considered on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the candidate s depth of experience in all other aspects of Eventing. Waivers are never automatic. Required certificates of attendance, verifications, and evaluations, including final examination: Certificates of Attendance from required Training sessions Verification by licensed official(s) of completion of Independent Study Evaluation(s ) by approved Preceptors based upon completed Apprenticing Evaluations from 15 licensed Eventing officials and/or current members of the USEF Eventing Technical Committee Oral, written, practical examination, successfully completed, after prospective official has participated in required Training sessions, Independent Study, and Apprenticing Licensed Officials Mentored Fast-Track Program This program is for those individuals who have ridden successfully at the three and four star level. Candidates for the program, along with the mentor pairing, must be approved by the USEF Eventing Technical Committee upon the recommendation of the USEA Eventing Licensed Officials Committee. A candidate in the Mentored Fast-Track Program must progress from r to R. Eventing Associate Judge Program This program is for those individuals who have ridden successfully at the three and four star level but who have not yet been licensed as an r official by the USEF. Candidates for the program must be approved by the USEF Eventing Technical Committee upon the recommendation of the USEA Eventing Licensed Officials Committee. An approved associate judge may serve as an additional judge at a USEA Beginner Novice, Novice, and Training horse trials once they have completed the Dressage and/or Jumping Training Session. 6 updated 6/6/2013

7 Getting started as an r Eventing Official Contact the USEA Director of Education at the USEA office (703) to receive details about the next scheduled Training Session. The USEA, and USEF, are your resource for information, but it is the USEF that awards licenses. Apply for any waiver of prerequisites or training. The ordinary process is to expect all candidates to meet all prerequisites and to complete all requirements. ** Apply to the USEF for acceptance into the training program for r officials. This MUST be accomplished before the final exam at the very latest, and should be done as early in the process as possible. Complete the application for the appropriate training session(s) and forward this to the USEA with the fee. Schedule the required apprentice and field work. Some may be done before the training session. You must do apprentice work with an official on the USEA Preceptor list. Attend the training session(s). Complete apprentice and field work, finish all independent study. Follow up with the LOC to be sure Preceptors have submitted forms documenting your work. Take the final exam. If necessary, some apprentice work may be done after the exam but this is not ideal. Apprenticing is designed to make stronger candidates and you will present better in the exam if you have completed the apprentice experience. Submit remaining documentation of independent study and apprenticing to the USEF Director of Licensed Officials, as well as the Eventing Program Confirmation of Completion form. These forms verify that all aspects of the Training Program (training sessions, independent study, and apprenticing) have been completed. Submit to the USEF a list of a minimum of 15 references appropriate to the license being applied for (space is available on back of the Eventing Program Confirmation of Completion form). An application for a license will not be considered until 15 evaluations have been received. The deadline for the USEF LOC to receive applications is also posted on the USEF website and is approximately three months before the USEF LOC meets. The Licensed Officials Department will confirm that evaluations have been received from the officials with whom the apprentice worked and will confirm attendance and passing scores at the final exam. Confidential Evaluation forms will be sent to the references listed by the applicant and to the USEF Eventing Technical Committee. The USEF LOC will review all the information contained in the applicant s file. Written notice of the USEF LOC action will be sent to the applicant within two weeks following the meeting. Throughout the process, plan ahead! Your application will NOT be considered if it is not complete and it is your responsibility to see that all paperwork is done. **Requests for a waiver for experience and/or training requirements must be submitted in writing to the USEF Licensing Coordinator, six (6) months prior to the planned final examination. Waivers are reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the USEF Eventing Technical and Licensed Officials Committees and must be accompanied by recommendations from a minimum of five (5) R or FEI Eventing officials, none of whom may have a conflict of interest with the candidate (for conflict of interest rules, see GR1304). The USEA Eventing Licensed Officials Committee will also be asked to comment on any requests for waivers. The Preceptor list and Preceptor training program is still under development. Please continue to apprentice with applicable Eventing (or Dressage) officials until further notice. 7 updated 6/6/2013

The form must include a list of all independent study, apprentice experiences, as well as a list of references. Staff will review the Candidates file to verify that all evaluations have been received and all program requirements completed.
