Gladstone, NJ – The United States Equestrian Team (USET) Foundation announces the continuation of its Competition Partners Program for the 2026 year and celebrates the expansion of this popular initiative.
The USET Foundation Competition Partners Program brings together top horse shows across the country in support of a shared mission: ensuring that U.S. equestrian high performance teams and athletes have the resources they need to excel on the world’s greatest international stages. These strategic partnerships help raise awareness about the vital role the USET Foundation plays in helping ensure that U.S. equestrian athletes and teams have the resources necessary to maintain excellence on the world’s greatest international stages while also helping to promote key competitions and venues that provide critical development and championship opportunities for both developing and senior athletes.
As the philanthropic partner to US Equestrian (USEF), the USET Foundation’s sole mission is to support the USEF High Performance Programs including its Pathway Programs that foster the development of up-and-coming talent. Grants and funding from the USET Foundation, through philanthropic contributions, go to USEF to help support the training, competition, travel, and educational needs of the United States’ horse and human athletes.
The upcoming year is particularly notable as the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Final and Zen Elite FEI Dressage World Cup™ Final will be held in Fort Worth, Texas in April, ahead of the 2026 FEI World Championships, where six of the seven international equestrian disciplines will feature at one of the most revered venues in the history of equestrian sport in Aachen, Germany, in August. These major championships are crucial stepping-stones on the pathway to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and Paralympic Games.
