It will also allow them to participate in USDF Breeders Championship Series Finals or in other open classes. -Having a USDF Group Membership (GM) does not make a person eligible to compete in Great American Insurance Group/USDF Regional Dressage Championship Qualifying classes, Great American Insurance Group/USDF Regional Dressage Championships, USDF Breeders Championship Series Finals, or to qualify for Adequan /USDF Year-End Awards. -USDF Business Membership (BM) satisfies requirements of horse ownership only. -An individual cannot compete with a USDF Education Membership (EM). USDF NON-MEMBER (NM) IDENTIFICATION NUMBER -The purpose o this number is to create a record for each person participating in a USEF-licensed/USDFrecognized competition. The NM identification number is a permanent number that will remain with the individual even if he/she later applies for membership. -A USDF NM identification number is required for all NM owners and riders competing in any USEFlicensed/USDF-recognized Dressage competition or open (dressage or DSHB) class at a USEF-licensed/USDFrecognized Regular or Local competition. (See exceptions on page 2) -For each USDF NM owner/lessee and USDF NM rider there will be a USDF NM fee, per competition, that must be collected by the show secretary and submitted to USDF along with the USDF Report of Fees document. In addition, a $5 affidavit fee must be collected if the person cannot provide a copy of their USDF NM card. (For persons applying for the first time for a NM number the $5 affidavit fee is not required.) Owners/lessees or riders exempt from the NM number requirements are also exempt from paying the USDF NM fee. If all the owners of the horse 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. Competitors will be assigned a USDF NM identification number when the competition results are received in the USDF office. Once a USDF NM number has been assigned, a USDF NM card can be obtained from the USDF website. This online printout should be presented to the show secretary and the USDF NM number should be used on every competition entry form. -Individuals with a USDF PM or GM do not need to pay the NM fee. Business members can own horses, but cannot compete as riders with their USDF BM. If riding, a business member will need a PM, GM, or NM identification number. -Having a NM identification number does not make a person eligible to compete in Great American Insurance Group/USDF Regional Dressage Championship Qualifying classes, Great American Insurance Group/USDF Regional Dressage Championships, USDF Breeders Championship Series Finals, or for Adequan /USDF Year- End Awards. USDF HORSE IDENTIFICATION (HID) NUMBER AND LIFETIME HORSE REGISTRATION (LHR) -A USDF HID number or a USDF LHR is required for all horses competing in any USEF-licensed/USDFrecognized dressage competition or open (dressage or DSHB) class at a USEF-licensed/USDF-recognized Regular or Local competition. -USDF accepts copies of the horse identification pages from an FEI passport of a foreign-owned horse competing in a CDI class, in lieu of a USDF HID or LHR number.

It does not make the horse eligible for Adequan /USDF Year-End Awards, Great American Insurance Group/USDF Regional Dressage Championship Qualifying and Championship classes, or USDF Breeders Championship Series Finals. -A USDF HID number or USDF LHR satisfies USEF Horse Identification requirements for dressage competition.
