3 Dressage at DevonWood Adult Amateur Challenge ($25/Buy-In) How It Works: Each horse/rider combination who opts to participate and buy entry into the Challenge must declare for the Challenge at a USEF Level and then ride each test of that level throughout the competition weekend (minimum of one test per day). Buy-ins for all challenges close on July 21, 2011 at 7:00PM. Tests can be ridden in any order, and tests may be ridden a maximum of three times throughout the weekend to try and improve the score. If a rider chooses to ride a test a second time to improve the score, the higher test score for each horse/rider combination will count towards each combination s Challenge score and the lower score for each test will be dropped. At least one score used in the total average score must be earned from all three competition days. Provided that a competitor completes all three tests in the level and has paid for entry into the Challenge they will become eligible to win the challenge at that level. There is no limit to number of horses a competitor can enter challenge with provided they the buy-in for each one. The highest scoring Challenge competitor at each level will receive a cash payout of USD $500. Only one payout will be awarded per level to the competitor with the highest total average score meeting all requirements herein. Only competitors with Adult Amateur status are eligible to participate and earn scores for this challenge. Each test score will carry one-third of the total weighted average. Challenge competitors who wish to buy an entry for two levels on the same horse are limited to one attempt at each test in accordance with USEF Rules (DRs) regarding maximum rides per horse per competition day. Horses who are being competed by a professional (Open Rider) and an Adult Amateur at the same competition are only eligible to participate in the Adult Amateur Challenge provided that the horse is not entered more than one level above the declared Challenge level declared by the Adult Amateur. Minimum Scores: In order for a Challenge payout to be awarded, the highest scoring combination must achieve a total minimum average score of at least % which includes a score from each of the three tests at a given level. If at the end of the competition, the minimum total average score from a Challenge eligible competitor has not been earned, no winner will be declared and all buy-in entry fees for the Challenge at that level will be donated to an Adult Amateur Program taking place in USDF Region 6 at the discretion of Competition Management. Additional Rules: Once a competitor pays the entry fee for the Challenge and specifies a level, the level cannot be changed. Riders who scratch from the show before the closing date will receive a full refund of the buy-in fee for the challenge. The following situations will result in forfeiture of the entry buy-in money: 1) after the closing date of the show, competitors who have paid for a challenge entry and scratch from the show for any reason, 2) if a competitor is eliminated from a test or is a no-show for a test, and therefore will not be able to complete the challenge requirements, 3) if a competitor fails to achieve at least one score per competition day. Hors Concours (HC) ride scores will not count towards the total average. Competitors are responsible for ensuring they complete all three tests required to be eligible to win the Challenge. In the event a competitor wishes to add an additional test to try to improve their average, they will not be given priority over any other competitors and may waitlist or sub-scratches, if available. If at least one test at the declared challenge level is competed each day and a final score is earned, more than one of the highest scores used in the total average score calculation can be earned on one competition day. In the event of a tie at any of the four levels, the entry with the higher of their three best individual scores will be declared the winner. No additional classes will be created that are not listed in the above Prize List. A minimum of 10 horses must be entered in a specific level in order for the Adult Amateur Challenge to be offered at full prize money value.

15 USDF Statement on Animal Welfare The United States Dressage Federation, Inc. (USDF), a federation of over 125 independent organizations throughout the United States with a membership in excess of 33,000 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 assure 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.

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 member 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 HID number can be upgraded 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.
