Welcome to the CSDEA

Use your credit card to become a CSDEA member with our secure and easy Member Signup-Renewal. Just step through the process and pay with your credit card.  You will receive an email with your receipt in minutes.

If you are already a CSDEA member–just log in and click on the easy pop-up reminder to renew your membership for 2013.  It's fast and easy!

If you prefer to pay with a check, please download and complete the 2013 Membership Form and send it with your check to St. Croix Saddlery in Hugo, listed on the form.

Please note: Year-end awards sign up is now an online only process.  You will have to renew your membership first.  Once it has been processed and you are notified via email, then you can sign in and complete your sign up for Year End Awards.

To sign up for CSDEA Year-End Awards, join or renew your membership, log-in and the Awards button will be on the left hand menu. (Log in IDs and passwords are provided when you join--if you have forgotten your password, follow the prompts for "Forgot My Password.")  Because Year-End Awards sign up is a custom program from our web host, it has been separated from the membership sign up and renewal process.

Membership categories (please note, after Jan. 15, all memberships will add a $10 late charge): 

 

• Individual memberships are $55 
• Family Memberships are $55, plus $15 for each additional family member listed. The United States Dressage Federation charges the association for each family member.
• Lifetime Memberships are $750.
