I think USDF is doing itself a huge disservice by issuing fines to show management rather than participants for "incomplete entries"...i.e. horse recordings...
Hi- I am unable to see an attachement as to the ruling you are referring to. It sounds like the USDF is going whacky..... Is there someplace on the USDF site...
No, they have nothing in print, that's part of the problem. I know of at least 3 different competition management groups who have received fines this ...
On the USDF web-site under News > The Latest, the 'USDF Policies and Procedures Manual' was posted in August. It can be found at: ...

By the way, an interesting fact, over l00,000 rides will be entered in the data base at USDF it is estimated this year. 67,000 and some have been entered ...
I'm curious to know (if you happen to know) what is behind USDF's reasoning in punishing the GMO's who host the shows, rather than punishing the riders/owners...

What I have been hearing anecdotally is that the confusion is primarily with the requirement for Horse ID numbers. It appears that competitors as well as show...

Dear Susan, I thought that the fines and what they are for was sent to the show organizers. Don't all shows take incomplete forms and not give out numbers for ...

As an example, a show that I know of was fined, in part, because 2 people attempting to qualify did not do what they'd said they would do (upgrade to full ...
This seems like positive news from USEF to me. I appreciate their outreach to competitors and competition management and willingness to have meetings across...

It would be great to be able to discuss these problems at the convention. I do believe that shows must accept incomplete entries and hope that the riders ...
