All questions not covered in these rules and regulations shall be decided by the show management whose

Every horse entered for competition will comply with the rules of the horse show management, but management

will, in no case, be responsible for any loss or damage that may occur, and it shall be condition of entry that

each exhibitor shall hold this horse show and the officials and employees of the show blameless for any loss

or exhibitors, prohibit entries and cancel award prizes without claims for damages; to cancel or combine

unfilled classes, or to reschedule classes after due notice to exhibitors; to change rings or rotate judges.

owner, manager, rider, or groom shall disqualify the horse, and the owner shall forfeit his entry fee and

other fees.

Show management reserves to itself the power to prohibit any person from attending or showing a horse in the

ring and to remove any groom or horse from the show without being liable for compensation.

Class splits and rider divisions Classes at these recognized shows may be split by division — Open, Junior, Young Rider, Adult Amateur, or any

combina9on — at the discre9on of show management. Be sure to indicate rider’s division on entry, or you will be put

into the Open sec9on by default. Eligibility for the various divisions is specified in the U.S. Equestrian Rule Book, which is

available online at www.usef.org. See rule DR119.3 for Juniors and Young Riders; GR105 and 106 for Amateur. • Riders are Juniors (JR) un9l the end of the calendar year in which they turn 18. They must provide their birthdate on

the entry form as proof of age. • Riders are Young Riders (YR) from the beginning of the calendar year in which they turn 16 un9l the end of the

calendar year in which they turn 21. They also must provide their birthdate on the entry form as proof of age. • For the shows in this sec9on, adults are Amateurs (Am or AA) only if the USEF has cer9fied them as such. Please be

aware that, per the adult amateur defini9on in the Dressage rules, riders cannot compete as an adult amateurs un9l

they are no longer eligible to compete as Young Riders. USEF members who apply for amateur cer9fica9on will find

the word amateur printed on their membership cards. A photocopy of this card is required as proof of eligibility for

Amateur classes. • Adult riders who are not members of USEF may NO LONGER apply for a USEF Non-Member Amateur Cer9ficate.

This was a recent USEF rule change.

• Riders who don't fit any of the above categories must compete in the Open division.

Entry rules for horses

• A horse must be 36 months of age (from foaling date) to compete under saddle in the Dressage division. It must be

at least 6 years old (January 1 of foaling year to January 1 of compe99on year) to compete above Fourth Level, and

7 years old to compete at Grand Prix. • A horse may be entered in a class only once. It may compete in a maximum of three tests per day at Fourth Level and

below, or two tests above Fourth Level. Freestyles and Dressage Rider Tests are included in these counts; equita9on

and materiale classes are not.

• A horse may be entered in no more than two consecu9ve levels at any one compe99on. (Excep�on: Pas de Deux.)

Note that Int-1 and Int-2 are no longer consecu9ve levels.

Documenta�on that must be included with your entry

Some show offices don't have photocopiers, and some show secretaries will return your entry as incomplete if you don’t

include proof of required memberships. That said, yes, it is perfectly legal to apply for any of these memberships at the

show. However, it is far preferable to do it (1) well in advance of the show and (2) on-line, so that you can print out proof

of applica9on or temporary membership cards.

Always send photocopies of the following documents with your entry, or as soon therea.er as possible; it will help you

avoid long lines when you check in at the show.

WARNING: Membership in ODS does include a Group Membership in USDF, but there is always a delay un9l that USDF

membership is processed and takes effect. If your ODS membership has not yet been processed, or you (or the horse’s

owner) wait to join ODS at a show, you will also need to complete the USDF affidavit form and submit the $5 affidavit filing

fee; scores may be applied to applicable USDF awards if the correct memberships have been applied for.

Again, you'll find more informa9on at www.usef.org, www.usdf.org, and www.oregondressage.com.



What is a Qualifying Ride?

This confuses everyone! Scores earned at ODS approved USEF/USDF licensed shows can be used

to qualify for two different championships — the ODS Championship Show and the GAIG/USDF

Region 6 Championship Show. When we talk about "capital Q" Qualifying rides, Qualifying fees,

and memberships required for Qualifying classes, we’re talking about the GAIG/USDF Regional

Championship Show, sponsored by the Great American Insurance Group (GAIG).

If your goal is to ride in the ODS Championship Show, it’s up to you to keep track of

your ["liBle q"] qualifying scores, which can be earned at any tests of the level. You don’t have to

declare anything at the qualifying show; just be an ODS mem-ber at the 9me you earn the scores.

To learn more about the ODS Championship Show, see the show lis�ng and visit the Oregon Dres-

sage Society Championship Show website, www.odschampionshipshow.com.

If your goal is to Qualify for the GAIG/USDF Regional Championship Show,

carefully read pages R-15 in this yellow sec9on. To learn more about the Great American Insur-

ance Group/USDF Region 6 Championship Show, visit the Dressage Northwest website,

Documentaon for the Trainer Trainer means the adult who is responsible for the horse while it is on the show grounds. In the case of a minor, the

parent or another adult must assume the responsibili9es of “trainer.” Therefore, every horse does indeed have a trainer,

won’t be coaching you on the show grounds, don’t list him/her on the entry. Coaches must sign the entries of all riders

they will be coaching at the show, and provide:

USEF: copy of current individual Senior or Life Compe9ng membership card. USEF non-members and coaches who can

not prove membership pay $30 Show Pass fee.

Opportunity Classes

Opportunity classes are intended by USEF to allow entry-level riders to ‘test the waters’ of recognized compe99on. There

are no USEF membership or horse recording requirements, nor Show Pass/non-member fees, for Opportunity classes.

USDF has agreed to follow USEF’s lead and waive their affiliate non-member fees and horse registra9on requirements.

• Horses entered only in Opportunity classes are exempt from the USEF Equine Drugs and Medica9on fee, but are s9ll

subject to and must comply with the USEF Drugs and Medica9on rules and are subject to drug tes9ng.

• Horses entered only in Opportunity classes are not required to have a Horse Iden9fica9on (HID) or Recording Number

but must list the USEF or USDF HID or Recording number(s) if the horse has been assigned one.

• Riders, owners, trainers, and coaches par9cipa9ng only in Opportunity classes are exempt from USEF membership

requirements and non-member fees, but are required to list the Federa9on membership number if the par9cipant is

a member.

Please note that:

• Entry in Opportunity classes is not limited to non-members. However, Dressage Opportunity Classes are for entry level

riders [GR821.2e2]. Experienced riders who just want to give a green horse some show experience without incurring

membership/ recording fees are directed to Introductory tests, rather than Opportunity classes.

• Membership fees are only waived for the Opportunity classes; people and horses entered in ‘regular’ classes (if

management allows cross-entry) are subject to the usual horse recording and membership requirements.

• Results for Opportunity classes are reported, but they do not count toward any awards, nor qualify for any

championships – not even if membership requirements are met. They are prac9ce classes.

• The above informa�on is provided as a courtesy; please read USEF General Rule 821 for full details.

A separate entry blank is not required for Opportunity classes. All that is required by the USEF is to list “Opportunity” in the

class 9tle. In addi9on, if it is an exis9ng USEF class, then the specs do not need to be specified in the prize list. Otherwise, the

specifica9ons would need to be listed for any unrecognized USEF class.

ATTENTION, COMPETITORS

Each competitor is responsible for supplying management with correct association

numbers (USEF, USDF, ODS, etc.) for horse, owner, rider, trainer and coach

before the day(s) of the competition.

The scores of competitors who fail to supply correct numbers may

not be counted toward national or state year-end awards.

USEF Motorized Vehicle Statement

Minors who do not have a valid drivers' license which allows them to operate a motorized vehicle in the state in which

they reside will not be permiBed to operated a motorized vehicle of any kind including, but not limited to golf carts,

motorcycles, scooters or farm u9lity vehicles on the compe99on grounds. Minors who have a valid temporary license

may operate the above described motorized vehicles as long as they are accompanied by an adult with a valid license.

Viola9ons of this rule will be cause for sanc9ons against the parent(s), guardian(s) and/or trainer(s) who are responsible

for the minor commi[ng the offense. Penal9es may include exclusion of the minor, parent(s), guardian(s) and/or trainer(s)

from the compe99on grounds for the remainder of the compe99on.

Wheelchairs and other mobility assistance devices for individuals are exempt from this rule.



USDF Statement on Animal Welfare

The United States Dressage Federation, Inc. (USDF), a federation of over 100 independent organizations throughout the United States with a

member-ship of nearly 30,000 members, supports the concept of ethical treatment of animals.

Dressage is a classical method of training horses, based upon the horse’s natural responses, as carried out in a gradual, planned program during

which the horse’s athletic abilities are improved in a systematic manner. As a result, the horse becomes capable, comfortable, and responsive in

partnership with the rider without the use of force. Dressage competition at various levels of achievement is the ultimate test of the training

program to determine whether the desired harmony between horse and rider has been achieved.

The rules pertaining to dressage competition prohibit the use of artificial appliances, training aids, and drugs, which would force the horse to

submit. Instead, the emphasis is upon training and a cooperative partnership with the rider. Major competitions are carefully monitored to as-

sure that there is no unnecessary force or harshness displayed.

Unlike other horse sports in which horses enter training at a relatively immature state, dressage training is usually not seriously begun until the

horse is three or four. The top levels of achievement require five or more years of progressive training and it is not unusual to see horses in

international competition in their late teens. This, in itself, places a premium on good care and soundness throughout the horse’s life.

While supporting the concept of animal welfare in its broadest form, the United States Dressage Federation, Inc., also recognizes that it is

unrealistic to ascribe human emotions and responses to the horse which in its wild state is a creature of flight, living a hard and precarious

existence. Under domestication, the horse is assured of ample food, water, and shelter, as well as protection against infectious diseases and

damaging parasites, thus leading a longer and healthier life with a high rate of survival.

As an educational organization, USDF has numerous programs, which teach people how to pursue the accepted, humane training methods.

A program of certifying instructors also emphasizes protecting the horse’s welfare in pursuit of dressage training.

secretaries will love you!

• ODS e-mails membership IDs to the e-mail address on record, so if you did not receive your membership ID,

please contact the office or go to www.usdf.org/card, input your name and click submit; then click on the under-

be allowed to compete nor to mingle with other horses.

No refunds will be given if right to compete is denied because the Vaccina9on Record is missing or incomplete. Whether the

horse is vaccinated by a veterinarian or by an owner or agent, or is exempt for medical or age reasons, documenta9on is

required; see GR845 for details.

Download the form from hBps://www.usef.org/documents/mem-bership/EquineVaccina9onRecord.pdf and bring the

(Note: USDF Business Members can own horses but cannot compete as riders with their USDF Business Member-ship.) Individuals cannot compete at a USEF-licensed/USDF-recognized competition with a USDF Education Membership. Horses competing at USEF-licensed/USDF-recognized competitions must have either a USDF Horse Identification (HID) number or a USDF Lifetime Horse Registration (LHR). Proper credentials or verification certificates must be presented to the competition secretary. Riders and owners wishing to participate in a USEF-licensed/USDF-recognized competition, and not able to present the competition secretary with verification of a USDF membership or NM identification, and USDF LHR or USDF HID, must complete a USDF Competition Affidavit Form and pay the $5 affidavit filing fee. A copy of a completed affidavit form from another competition may also be used for verification purposes for up to 60 days. (Exception: Affidavits cannot be used at Great American Insurance Group/USDF Regional Dressage Championships.) Exceptions: • Horses competing only in Individual Breed Classes (IBCs) at DSHB competitions, sires and dams of horses in DSHB group classes, where those sires or

dams are not actually competing in the same competition, horses competing only in breed restricted dressage or DSHB classes at Regular Competitions (e.g. all Arabian, all Friesian, or all Morgan classes), or in USDF Introductory Level tests, pas de deux or quadrille, are exempt from this requirement. Also exempt are horses ridden in leadline, exhibitions, games and races, classes for 4-H members, walk-trot, academy, and opportunity classes.

• Riders and owners/lessees competing only in classes which are exempt from the USDF HID requirements are also exempt from the USDF NM identification number and NM fee requirements. Also exempt are handlers of horses competing in DSHB In-Hand or Group classes.

Memberships Defined

Participating Membership (PM): A membership issued to an individual directly by USDF. The membership year is December 1 through November 30. PMs are available for 1-year ($75), 5-years ($300), or life ($1,500). A USDF Youth Participating Membership (YPM) is available for individuals who have not reached their 21st birthday by December 1 of the current membership year ($60). A PM allows the member to compete at USEF-licensed/USDF-recognized competitions and

to participate as a rider and/or owner/lessee for all Adequan®/USDF Year-End Awards, Great American Insurance Group/USDF Breeders Championship Series Finals and the Great American Insurance Group/USDF Regional Dressage Championship program. Group Membership (GM): A membership issued to an individual by USDF when the member name and dues are submitted to USDF through an affiliate Group Member Organization (GMO). The GM year begins December 1 and ends November 30. A GM allows the member to compete at USEF-licensed/USDF-recognized competitions and participate in the USDF Rider Awards program. Business Membership (BM): A membership that runs December 1 through November 30 and is issued to a business or organization directly by USDF. The USDF BM ($200) offers a wider variety of advertising benefits. BMs satisfy requirements of horse ownership only. Education Membership (EM): A membership issued to an individual directly by USDF. This online education only membership expires 12 months after the date joined. This membership type does NOT allow an individual to compete at a USEF-licensed/USDF-recognized competition. Non-Member (NM) Identification Number: For each USDF NM owner/lessee and USDF NM rider there will be a USDF NM fee of $25 per competition that must be collected by the show secretary and submitted to USDF, along with the USDF Report of Fees document and the $5 affidavit fee and Competition Affi-davit Form if the person cannot provide a copy of their USDF NM card. Owners/lessees or riders exempt from the NM number requirements are also exempt from paying the USDF NM fee. If there are multiple owners of a horse and all are NMs, only one of the owners must pay the NM fee. If the horse has at least one owner who is a current USDF PM, GM, or BM there is no NM fee assessed. Competition management will be invoiced for all applicable USDF NM fees not received with the USDF post competition paperwork, along with a report listing all USDF NMs. Competition management is then required to submit the NM fees within 30 days to the USDF. An individual with a USDF NM identification number is not eligible for any USDF membership benefits. Once a USDF NM number has been assigned, a USDF NM card can be obtained from the USDF website. Horse Identification (HID) Number: A one-time tracking number for horses ($25). Scores earned by a horse with an HID number will be recorded, but will

NOT be counted towards Adequan®/USDF Year-End Awards. A horse with an HID number is not eligible to compete in Great American Insurance Group/USDF Regional qualifying or championship classes or Great American Insurance Group/USDF Breeders Championship Series Finals. An HID number can be upgrad-ed to a Lifetime Horse Registration (LHR) for a fee of $70. If a horse has a USDF LHR it does not need an HID number. An HID number is a one-time fee that does not need to be renewed. Lifetime Horse Registration (LHR): A horse with an LHR ($95) is eligible for Adequan®/USDF Year-End Awards, and eligible to compete at Great American Insurance Group/USDF Breeders Championship Series Finals and Great American Insurance Group/USDF Regional qualifying and championship classes, assuming requirements for the owner and rider are met. If a horse has an LHR it does not need an HID number. An LHR does not need to be renewed.

and my principals, representa1ves, employees and agents, I agree that I am subject to the Bylaws and Rules of The United States Equestrian Federa1on, Inc. (the "Federa1on") and the local

rules of [ ____________________] (Compe11on). I agree to be bound by the Bylaws and Rules of the Federa1on and of the compe11on. I will accept as final the decision

considera1on of acceptance of entry, the Federa1on and/or the Compe11on may use or assign photographs, videos, audios, cable-casts, broadcasts, internet, film, new media or other likenesses

of me and my horse taken during the course of the compe11on for the promo1on, coverage or benefit of the compe11on, sport, or the Federa1on. Those likenesses shall not be used to

adver1se a product and they may not be used in such a way as to jeopardize amateur status. I hereby expressly and irrevocably waive and release any rights in connec1on with such use,

including any claim to compensa1on, invasion of privacy, right of publicity, or to misappropria1on. The construc1on and applica1on of Federa1on rules are governed by the State of New York,

Federa+on Release, Assump+on of Risk, Waiver, and Indemnifica+on - This document waives important legal rights. Read it carefully before signing. I AGREE in considera1on for my par1cipa1on in this Compe11on to the following:

I AGREE that "the Federa1on" and "Compe11on" as used herein includes the Licensee and Compe11on Management, as well as all of their officials, directors, employees, agents, personnel,

volunteers and Federa1on affiliates.

I AGREE that I choose to par1cipate voluntarily in the Compe11on with my horse, as a rider, driver, handler, vaulter, longeur, lessee, owner, agent, coach, trainer, or as parent or guardian of a junior

exhibitor. I am fully aware and acknowledge that horse sports and the Compe11on involve inherent dangerous risks of accident, loss, and serious bodily injury including broken bones, head

injuries, trauma, pain, suffering, or death ("Harm").

I AGREE to hold harmless and release the Federa1on and the Compe11on from all claims for money damages or otherwise for any Harm of any nature to me or my horse and for any Harm of any nature

caused by me or my horse to others, even if the Harm arises or results, directly or indirectly, from the negligence of the Federation or the Competition.

I AGREE to expressly assume all risks of Harm to me or my horse, including Harm resul1ng from the negligence of the Federa1on or the Compe11on. I AGREE to indemnify (that is, to pay any losses,

damages, or costs incurred by) the Federa1on and the Compe11on and to hold them harmless with respect to claims for Harm to me or my horse, and for claims made by others for any Harm

caused by me or my horse at the Compe11on. I have read the Federa1on Rules about protec1ve equipment, including GR801 and, if applicable, EV114, and I understand that I am en1tled to

wear protec1ve equipment without penalty, and I acknowledge that the Federa1on strongly encourages me to do so while WARNING that no protec1ve equipment can guard against all injuries.

If I am a parent or guardian of a junior exhibitor, I consent to the child's par1cipa1on and AGREE to all of the above provisions and AGREE to assume all of the obliga1ons of this Release on the

child's behalf. I represent that I have the requisite training, coaching and abili1es to safely compete in this compe11on.
