On Oct. 4 the U.S. Center for SafeSport temporarily suspended professional rider and trainer Jeff Campf for “allegations of misconduct,” and additionally instituted a no-contact directive on him.
Campf, Canby, Oregon, runs the hunter/jumper training operation Oz Inc. with his wife Shelley Campf.
The U.S. Center for SafeSport declined to comment on the specific case but did send in a comment on the general SafeSport process:
“The Center doesn’t comment on matters to protect the integrity of the process. Temporary measures, up to a suspension, are a safety tool SafeSport uses to protect participants while it conducts its work.”

The U.S. Equestrian Federation also declined to comment on the specific case but submitted a statement:
“USEF will enforce the temporary suspension put in place by the U.S. Center for SafeSport. USEF respects the process of the U.S. Center For SafeSport and, importantly, the privacy and confidentiality of the process for all parties involved.”
Jeff did not return a phone call to the Chronicle by press time.
