About EWD Riding
EWD (Equestrians with Disabilities) riding provides adaptive equestrian competition for athletes with physical, cognitive, or sensory disabilities. Programs modify rules and equipment to enable meaningful competition while maintaining equestrian standards.
EWD programs operate under USEF with modified rules allowing adaptive equipment, compensating aids, and grade-based classification. Disciplines include dressage, western dressage, and driving. Athletes are classified into grades (I-V) based on their functional ability, ensuring fair competition. EWD competitions are offered at local, regional, and national levels. Many therapeutic riding programs serve as the entry point for athletes who go on to compete at the national and international level in para-equestrian sport.
EWD Riding riders can find supportive tack on TurnoutHQ, or make use of management tools for clubs.
