NEWS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 3, 2008
By Stacey Meier
Lexington, KY - The United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) would
like to advise all members that participate in the Roadster Division to
be aware of a new rule (RD101.2) that takes effect April 1, 2008 which
will require all owners, exhibitors and trainers of horses and ponies to
be members of the American Road Horse and Pony Association (ARHPA).
Therefore, if a roadster horse class or a roadster pony class is
operating under the Roadster Division rules of the USEF Rule Book, then
the owner, trainer and exhibitor of the entry must be members in good
standing with the ARHPA and provide copies of the membership cards to
the competition prior to competing. Lessees are considered owners in
connection with this membership requirement. In the event of an entry
under multiple ownership, only one owner will need be a member of ARHPA.
Any questions regarding this rule and membership requirement should be
directed to Carrie Mortensen, USEF's Director of Breeds & Western, at
859-225-6986 or via email cmortensen@usef.org.
Ends
The vision of the United States Equestrian Federation(r) is to provide
leadership
for equestrian sport in the United States of America by promoting the
pursuit
of excellence from the grassroots to the Olympic Games, based on a
foundation of fair, safe competition and the welfare
of its human and equine athletes.
