One Big Thing: New USEA Online Tools and Member Portal
If you haven’t logged on to your USEA account lately, now may be the time! XEntry and the old USEA member portal have stepped aside to make way for HorseConnect, the new USEA Sport Management System platform.
The new member portal intends to modernize all aspects of your membership, horse registrations, and event entries. The USEA has put together some guides to help you navigate the new user experience of HorseConnect, including how to set up your account and how to register a new horse, with more tools to come soon.
Competition records for the last 24 months can still be found on the USEventing.com homepage under “Search Horse” and “Search Ride”, but as the HorseConnect system integrates, you’ll still need to navigate to the old USEA Online Services portal for records older than 24 months.
XEntry is no longer available to submit entries — all entries going forward will be submitted through HorseConnect.
For questions about the new system or any assistance with accessing your information or account, the USEA urges you to reach out to [email protected] or any other appropriate staff member. [You can find staff contact info listed at the bottom of this article]
