Read the USEF Rule Book

USEF publishes rules that apply to USEF/USDF (and other) (national) shows. There are General Rules (GR) that apply to all shows that fall under USER and there are Dressage Rules (DR) that apply to all dressage shows that fall under USEF. Click here for links to the rules.

Even if you are not riding in USEF/USDF shows, it is a good idea to know these rules. Schooling shows, including FADS shows, usually follow the rules, with a few exceptions. A good rule of thumb is to assume a schooling show follows the USEF rules; if you have a question regarding the schooling show and rules, contact the show’s management.
