Theo,
Would you please translate the info on the equestrian sports? Is there anything in the US for this age group? Thanks!

If you click on the little Union Jack (top right) the website will be displayed in English.:D

Thank you for the info, equibrit. The us version in Utah does not have equestrian. The Dutch dressage version requires FEI Prix St George. That's substantial riding!

I think you'll find that USDF offer competitions for people who have been on earth for a long time.

If you are old enough and/or your horse is old enough, you might aim for the Century Club. I'm looking for a 28-year-old schoolmaster!

Don't feel left out because you don't live in Europe. Feel left out because you live on the wrong side of this continent. :winkgrin:
