BackRule Changes for 2010
The UDS has retired the horse and rider registration requirement. For 2010 and beyond, scores from UDS recognized shows will be tabulated for all horses who are owned and ridden by current UDS members at the time the scores are earned.
This change was designed to streamline the tabulation process and avoid missing scores. It does mean the the RIDER and OWNER must be current UDS members AT THE TIME THE SCORES ARE EARNED.
Your HORSE must have a USDF number: either a lifetime registration number or a USDF Horse ID. Register your horse with the USDF on the USDF website.
