Horse Registration

(No USDF horse registrations need to be renewed.)

USDF Horse Identification Number ($20)

The USDF Horse Identification (HID) number is a one-time tracking number and minimum required registration for horses to participate in USDF-recognized/ USEF-licensed competitions*. While this level of registration will not allow a horse to compete for Adequan®/USDF Year-End Awards or to qualify for Great American Insurance Group/USDF Regional Dressage Championships, it will allow USDF to record and track scores for all horses competing. An HID can be upgraded to a USDF Lifetime Horse Registration (LHR) for a fee of $65.

*For exceptions to the HID requirement, please refer to Chapter 4 of the Competitions Handbook

USDF Lifetime Horse Registration ($85)

The USDF Lifetime Horse Registration (LHR) is a one-time registration fulfilling the USDF horse registration requirements for all USDF award and championship programs. Please review individual program information for owner/rider requirements. **There are additional USEF horse recording requirements for Great American Insurance Group/USDF Regional qualifying and championships classes.
