As the National Governing Body (NGB) for the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC), US Equestrian plays a strategic role in outlining a vision and process for hosting key equestrian competitions in the United States. Part of this role includes selecting and fielding teams for major events.

These major events can be multi-sport mega events, such as the Olympic, Paralympic, Pan American Games (PAG), and the World Equestrian Games (WEG). Other major events include those that are FEI-owned championships and finals, such as FEI Nations Cup™ competitions for dressage, eventing, jumping, driving and vaulting; World Cup Finals and junior and young rider championships (NAJYRC); as well as US Equestrian-owned championships and finals. 

Additionally, US Equestrian works with Organizing Committees (OCs) to ensure a coordinated and coherent approach to supporting, securing, and staging major U.S. events. With the hope of engaging, leaving a lasting legacy, and growing equestrian sport, US Equestrian aims to inspire the next generation of U.S. athletes.
