Last call for 2026 APSL/USLA Breeding Inspection applications.

If you have mares or stallions that still need to be inspected for breeding (“Revision”), please complete the Application for Inspection form on the USLA website now. Inspection routes and scheduling are being finalized, and once inspection locations are determined, we are generally unable to add new locations.

Words can’t really explain all the hard work that so many people have done to build the first USA Working Equitation team to be going to a WAWE World Championship. I’ll share more later but for now I just want to say thank you to everyone who has gotten us to this point. It is a true honor to be a part of this historic team and I can’t wait to ride with these wonderful teammates in Spain along with our coach and chef de equip.

Thank You 🙏 ❤️
