The USET
is the non-profit organization which represents the United States in international
equestrian sports. For over four decades, the USET has proudly carried
the responsibility of selecting, training, equipping, and financing teams
of the highest possible standards to represent the U.S. in Pan American
and Olympic games, World Championships, and other international competitions.
At Headquarters, you will view a stable built in 1916 which as been described
as one of the largest and most lavish in the U.S. Built of brick and concrete,
reinforced with steel, the ornate interior includes carriage rooms (now
USET executive offices), corridors and harness rooms with tile walls,
terrazzo floors, and brass fittings. The 54 box stalls have cork brick
floors and are transformed annually, during autumn's Gladstone Antiques
Show, into show rooms for the very best antiques dealers. The Trophy room
provides a view of awards won, and a timeline illustrating how the Team
positioned itself over the years among the world's strongest equestrian
powers. The site hosts an annual spring Festival of Champions and country
fair.
