The
United States Dressage Federation (USDF) has announced a new,
free, online membership and horse-registration verification service
for USDF members. This new Web service allows members to search
and view their current membership status as well as the current
registration status of their horses. All information in the USDF
online database is updated daily and is current as of 5 p.m. the
previous business day.
In addition to viewing membership status online, USDF members will
also be able to print an online Letter of Verification which can
be used as proof of membership at competitions until the membership
card arrives from the USDF office. This will eliminate the need
to fill out membership and registration affidavits at competitions.
USDF Senior Director of Member Services Cindy Vimont sees this
as a time saver for members as well as for the Member Services Department
staff. "Having this information on our Web site enables members
to access information quickly when they need it. A Letter of Verification
printed from the Web site can be taken to the show and presented
as proof of membership, thus decreasing time spent filling out paperwork
at the shows."
USDF Director of Competitions Sally Davenport added, "This
new service will allow competitors to check their current membership
and horse-registration status prior to the competition in order
to determine their eligibility for USDF awards programs."
This new service has been developed with input from show secretaries,
technical delegates, competition management, active competitors,
USDF Executive Board members, and third-party software vendors.
"USDF is working with third-party software vendors to make
this system compatible with their own systems, enabling them to
be able to access USDF membership information in their own system.
We are hopeful that this cooperative effort will also allow competition
management to work more efficiently in determining USDF membership
and horse registration at the time of the show," said William
Adams, USDF director of information technology.
