USDF All-Breed Awards: Recognizing the Accomplishments of New Forest Ponies in the Sport of Dressage

​

The NFPSNA is pleased to participate in the Adequan®/USDF All-Breeds Awards Program, recognizing New Forests in the sport of dressage. 

Please note there are eligibility requirements that must be met, both through the United States Dressage Federation (USDF) and NFPSNA.

NFPSNA Eligibility:

• Ponies must be registered with the New Forest Pony Society of North America before enrolling to compete for USDF All-Breed Awards.

• Purebred, Part-bred and Section X ponies may compete for USDF All-Breed Awards.

• Owners of ponies must be members in good standing of the New Forest Pony Society of North America with dues having been paid in full before enrolling to compete for USDF All-Breed Awards for the year.

  • (See Membership for more information.)

• Ponies must be shown under their registered name, or have a show name registered and on file with the NFPSNA.

  • (See Rule Book for more information.)

• Ponies must be signed up for Lifetime Achievement.

This is a once in a lifetime enrollment and LTA Application form that must be completed, along with a copy of the registration certificate and payment, prior to enrolling to compete for USDF All-Breed Awards. 

USDF Eligibility:

Note: the USDF may change eligibility at their discretion, the below is merely a guideline in helping to understand there are additional eligibility requirements that must be met with the USDF prior to being eligible to compete for USDF All-Breed Awards. 

All declaration paperwork must be filed with the USDF by August 1 of the competition year in order for points from that year to go toward USDF All-Breed Awards.  Please contact the USDF (www.usdf.org) for up-to-date competition rules.

• All-Breeds declaration form must be on file with the USDF, along with a copy of the pony’s registration certificate (this is declaring the pony to compete for All-Breed Awards as a New Forest Pony) and the pony’s USDF number

• If the pony was already declared to compete for another registry (i.e. NASPR or ISR/Oldenburg) prior to the NFPSNA joining the All-Breed Awards program, a request to change All-Breeds declaration must be filed with the USDF, typically with a fee involved

• The owner must be a USDF Participating or Business member in good standing

• The rider must be a USDF Participating member in good standing

• The pony must be lifetime registered with the USDF

Once all USDF participation requirements have been met by the competitor, the USDF will request verification from the NFPSNA that the pony, owner and rider meet all NFPSNA requirements for competing in the USDF All-Breed Awards Program.  Once that verification is provided by the NFPSNA, the enrollment is complete for that competition year. 

Note that the competition year for the USDF extends from October 1 - September 30
