Lexington, KY - The United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) is now accepting letters of intent from competition managers to host the 2014 USEF Dressage Seat Medal Finals. These Finals will take place in the summer of 2014.

The purpose of the USDF/USEF Dressage Seat Medal program presented by Dressage Today is to promote and reward correct seat, position, and use of aids in dressage for youth riders. The United States Dressage Federation (USDF) oversees the qualifying system and the Semi-Finals, while the USEF manages the Finals.

The USDF/USEF Dressage Seat Medal program presented by Dressage Today is split in two age divisions; 13-and-under and 14-18. A rider is eligible for the 13-and-under Semi-Final class until the end of the calendar year in which he/she reaches the age of 13. A rider is eligible for the 14-18 Semi-Final class from the beginning of the calendar year in which he/she reaches 14 until the end of the calendar year in which he/she reaches the age of 18.

The top two riders in each Dressage Seat Medal Semi-Finals class will qualify for the USEF Dressage Seat Medal Finals.

All letters of intent are due to Hallye Griffin by Friday, November 16, 2012.
