Helpful Hints

  • Riders, trainers, owners, coaches and show committees have learned that working together is fruitful for all parties involved. There are, however, a few points to keep in mind when entry forms are mailed to the show secretary: Mail a copy of your current  USEF and USDF Cards with your entry (Rider, Horse, Trainer, Owner, Coach).
  • Fill out your entry form with a dark pen. Provide clear information when asked for. Look at the policies of the show you enter; shows have different policies in many ways.
  • Make ample (two sided) copies from the entry forms provided with the "Blue Book". These entry forms are up to date for USEF and FEI competitions. Other entry forms may not be accepted.
  • Give sire and dam information to support the recognition of the breeders of your fine horses.
  • Please be a sport - each entry form must have ALL signatures (USEF Requirement).
  • Inform yourself about refund policies. With your signature, you are accepting all policies of the show you enter.
  • Be prepared to furnish the show office with all missing credentials and dues. Many shows will not issue your bridle numbers until you have done so. Your horse must wear numbers during the entire time it is on the grounds and out of its stall (USEF Rule).
  • If you have any questions during the show, go to the appropriate person to help you: show office to answer all questions regarding the show; ring stewards to check your tack/bits and keep you informed about warm-up and competition rings; technical delegate to interpret the rules; and the show committee to follow up on rule violations.
