USA Equestrian Releases Documents Updating USOC Mediation

In response to numerous inquiries, the Executive Committee of USA Equestrian, meeting Tuesday by teleconference, released several documents for publication on its website, relating to the United States Equestrian Team's withdrawal from mediation over the future governance of the sport. USA Equestrian is the National Equestrian Federation for the United States, and the incumbent National Governing Body for the sport, as recognized by the United States Olympic Committee. USET commenced litigation against USA Equestrian in February 2001, formally challenging its status as NGB.

The documents released include:

According to Lori Rawls, Executive Director of USA Equestrian, the decision to release the documents was made because several excerpts of letters have appeared in some equestrian publications, edited and out of context.

The documents may be viewed at www.equestrian.org/EquestrianGovernance, and copies are available to USA Equestrian members upon written request to Ms.
Rawls.
