USDF Executive Board Statement on Animal Welfare
Nov 23, 2009 - In response to a recent incident at an international competition, the USDF Executive Board has issued the following official statement:
The USDF does not approve of training techniques such as hyperflexion especially when taken to an extreme. While we recognize that we can not control how riders train at home, excessive techniques should not be tolerated at competitions. The USDF feels that it is very important that as a sport we police ourselves and encourage the USEF and FEI to call upon their licensed officials to ensure that cruel and abusive riding does not happen at our competitions.

Wanted: Your Old Show Photos
Nov. 6,, 2009 - Do you have old photos from local eventing or dressage shows and clinics? We're putting together a collection of them for the upcoming 40th Anniversary celebration and are looking for your show and clinic photos. If you have any old (70s, 80s and 90s) local show or clinic photos we'll put them on the web site, in the magazine, and even use them at some of the CSDEA special events! If you don't have them scanned and in a .jpg format, we can get them from you and return them after we've scanned the images. If you'd like to help, please contact Leslie Mock, or any other member of the 40th Anniversary Committee.

Need Help Looking Up Awards?
Here's a handy bit of guidance (from our Awards Committee Chair) to help you navigate the CSDEA Year End Awards information.
After you login, in the upper left corner, you should see a button that says awards. Click on that. Scroll through the awards listed until you find the catagory you want to look at and click on the nominations button. It should show a list of who signed up for that level, the horse name and their score. You can only look at one award at a time, not the whole list.
