[RC] NEW FEI registration for riders and horses - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Jan Stevens circlebarranch@xxxxxxxxxxxx or 
ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

Just a note to all FEI/International Riders or those who might be interested in 
participating in such.  This is especially important for those who are 
interested in riding in the FEI portion of the 100 mile ride at the Fun In The 
Sun Ride on March 5, 2006 in Florida.  According to this you will not be able 
to register for your FEI number at the ride?you will need to do this at least 4 
weeks before the ride.  Plus if you are planning on passporting a horse you 
need to get on it right away because you need the FEI number 1st and then apply 
for the passport (this could take up to 6-8 weeks).



Thanks,

FEI Registration Number FAQs



Who needs an FEI Registration number?

ALL horses, riders, drivers, and vaulters competing in any and all FEI 
competitions, regardless of the star level or location of the competition.  
Even if the horse has an FEI passport, it must also have an annual FEI 
Registration number.

Why do we have to get another number?

The FEI has instituted this registration program in order to track global 
results and post them on their website. Additionally, this will assist the FEI 
in gathering valuable information regarding international equestrian sports 
such as demographics, pedigrees, and vital statistics.

What must competitors do to get an FEI Registration number?

The FEI Registration applications are available on the USEF website, 
www.usef.org .  For those without internet access, USEF can fax or mail the 
form upon request.  Please note all horses MUST have an active Horse Recording 
before an FEI Registration number can be issued.  New horse recordings take 
approximately 30 days, so they must be done well in advance of the competition. 
Horse ID numbers are not sufficient when applying for FEI Registrations.

What is the cost of an FEI Registration number?

The fee for an FEI Registration number is $15 per horse and $15 per rider.  
This FEI fee is in addition to any applicable membership, horse recording, and 
International High Performance dues.

When are FEI Registration numbers going to be required?

The FEI Registration is MANDATORY, effective January 1, 2006.  USEF must 
receive the necessary application forms no later than four weeks prior to the 
first day of competition.  FEI Registration Numbers must be renewed annually 
for each horse and rider.

Where does the responsibility lie for verifying that a competitor and their 
horse is registered?

Competition management is responsible for verifying FEI registration numbers 
for horses and competitors BEFORE accepting their entries.  This information 
can be found on the FEI website, www.horsesport.org under each respective 
discipline.  Click on Registration Lists to access riders and horses.

Will competitors with pending numbers be allowed to participate in FEI 
competitions?

No.  A competitor must have active FEI registrations for themselves and their 
horses before starting an FEI competition.  There will be no exceptions to this 
requirement.  Competitors MAY NOT sign up for FEI Registration numbers at the 
competition, and they MAY NOT be allowed to participate if they do not have FEI 
Registration numbers.  USEF must receive the necessary application forms no 
later than four weeks prior to the first day of competition.
