The Fine Print:

Club.
 NCDCTA membership is required – but membership can be obtained on the weekend/day of the
show where the scores are earned. In other words, a competitor, seeing that they have earned
two 70% scores may go online at www.ncdcta.org and join NCDCTA during the show weekend
and those scores will earn them membership in the NCDCTA 70% Club (along with the other
benefits of the NCDCTA membership).

 NCDCTA 70% Club Pins will be mailed to Club Members as soon as their scores are earned –
pins will be mailed to the address given with their NCDCTA membership.
 In the case of a tie for year-end prizes, the highest single score will break the tie. If the highest
single score of the year is also tied, both competitors will receive recognition and the prize.
 See www.ncdcta.org/70percent.php for details of the program, recognition of all members of the
Club and score tracking. Your show(s) are also recognized on this page – with links to your own
show websites and contact information.

owner/lessee, must have either a USDF Group Membership (GM), Participating Membership (PM), or have a USDF Non-Member (NM) identification number and pay
the USDF Non-Member (NM) fee. (Note: USDF Business Members can own horses but cannot compete as riders with their USDF Business Membership.)
Individuals cannot compete at a USEF-licensed/USDF-recognized competition with a USDF Education Membership.
Horses competing at USEF-licensed/USDF-recognized competitions must have either a USDF Horse Identification (HID) number or a USDF Lifetime Horse
Registration (LHR). Proper credentials or verification certificates must be presented to the competition secretary.
Riders and owners wishing to participate in a USEF-licensed/USDF-recognized competition, and not able to present the competition secretary with verification of a
USDF membership or NM identification, and USDF LHR or USDF HID, must complete a USDF Competition Affidavit Form and pay the $5 affidavit filing fee. A copy
of a completed affidavit form from another competition may also be used for verification purposes for up to 60 days. (Exception: Affidavits cannot be used at Great
American Insurance Group/USDF Regional Dressage Championships.)
Exceptions:

Horses competing only in Individual Breed Classes (IBCs) at DSHB competitions, sires and dams of horses in DSHB group classes, where those sires or
dams are not actually competing in the same competition, horses competing only in breed restricted dressage or DSHB classes at Regular Competitions
(e.g. all Arabian, all Friesian, or all Morgan classes), or in USDF Introductory Level tests, pas de deux or quadrille, are exempt from this requirement. Also
exempt are horses ridden in leadline, exhibitions, games and races, classes for 4-H members, walk-trot, academy and opportunity classes.

Riders and owners/lessees competing only in classes which are exempt from the USDF HID requirements are also exempt from the USDF NM
identification number and NM fee requirements. Also exempt are handlers of horses competing in DSHB In-Hand or Group classes.
Memberships Defined
Participating Membership (PM): A membership issued to an individual directly by USDF. The membership year is December 1 through November 30. PMs are
available for 1-year ($75), 5-years ($300), or life ($1,500). A USDF Youth Participating Membership (YPM) is available for individuals who have not reached their 21st
birthday by December 1 of the current membership year ($60). A PM allows the member to compete at USEF-licensed/USDF-recognized competitions and to
participate as a rider and/or owner/lessee for all Adequan®/USDF Year-End Awards, Great American Insurance Group/USDF Breeders Championship Series Finals
and the Great American Insurance Group/USDF Regional Dressage Championship program.
Group Membership (GM): A membership issued to an individual by USDF when the member name and dues are submitted to USDF through an affiliate Group
Member Organization (GMO). The GM year begins December 1 and ends November 30. A GM allows the member to compete at USEF-licensed/USDF-recognized
competitions and participate in the USDF Rider Awards program.
Business Membership (BM): A membership that runs December 1 through November 30 and is issued to a business or organization directly by USDF. The USDF
BM ($200) offers a wider variety of advertising benefits. BMs satisfy requirements of horse ownership only.
Education Membership (EM): A membership issued to an individual directly by USDF. This online education only membership expires 12 months after the date
joined. This membership type does NOT allow an individual to compete at a USEF-licensed/USDF-recognized competition.
Non-Member (NM) Identification Number: For each USDF NM owner/lessee and USDF NM rider there will be a USDF NM fee of $25 per competition that must be
collected by the show secretary and submitted to USDF, along with the USDF Report of Fees document and the $5 affidavit fee and Competition Affidavit Form if the
person cannot provide a copy of their USDF NM card. 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 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. Once a USDF NM number has been assigned, a USDF NM card
can be obtained from the USDF website.
Horse Identification (HID) Number: A one-time tracking number for horses ($25). Scores earned by a horse with an HID number will be recorded, but will NOT be
counted towards Adequan®/USDF Year-End Awards. A horse with an HID number is not eligible to compete in Great American Insurance Group/USDF Regional
qualifying or championship classes or Great American Insurance Group/USDF Breeders Championship Series Finals. 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.
Lifetime Horse Registration (LHR): A horse with an LHR ($95) is eligible for Adequan®/USDF Year-End Awards, and eligible to compete at Great American
Insurance Group/USDF Breeders Championship Series Finals and Great American Insurance Group/USDF Regional qualifying and championship classes, assuming
requirements for the owner and rider are met. If a horse has an LHR it does not need an HID number. An LHR does not need to be renewed.
