Hi everyone!
It is time to start thinking about renewing your membership with the NFDA. The 2020 Competition year begins December 1, 2019.
We are starting several new programs this year that we are super excited about.
We will be joining the brand new USDF Regional Schooling Show Awards Program. This allows riders at our schooling shows to be eligible for awards from USDF. NFDA will make sure that our competitions are eligible and registered with USDF, and we will submit the scores from our shows as required. If you are interested in participating in this program you will need to fill out an application with USDF. All the information can be found on their website:
https://www.usdf.org/awards/performance/regional-schooling.asp
Any time we are able to we will make sure our shows are Recognized by the Western Dressage Association of America (WDAA). If we have eligible judges we will register our competitions with WDAA which will allow any WDAA members to be able to count your scores towards the WDAA Horse Lifetime Points and Awards Program. More information about this program can be found on their website:
https://westerndressageassociation.org/wdaa-horse-lifetime-points-and-awards-program/
As always your membership with NFDA will also include the following:
* Discounted rates at schooling shows managed by NFDA
* Reciprocity with STRIDE and SWEDA so that NFDA members can earn qualifying scores towards our Championship show.
* Ability to participate in any event sanctioned by NFDA (clinics, social events, banquets, etc...)
* Right to vote (officer elections, etc...)
* Automatic GMO membership with USDF. This means you do not need to join USDF separately to be able to participate in recognized competitions. We do it for you! If you want to be eligible for USDF year-end awards and championships a participating membership is still required. Other GMO benefits can be found here: https://www.usdf.org/join/GMBenefits.pdf
Because of USDF raising their GMO rates this year and these amazing programs we are going to have to change our membership rates a bit. But....a discount opportunity is also available. 2020 Membership Rates will be as follows:
If you join BEFORE December 1, 2019:
Individual membership: $60
Additional family members: $20 each
If you join at any point AFTER December 1, 2019:
Individual membership: $65
Additional family members: $25 each.
The form to renew for 2020 is ready, so be sure you take advantage of the discount! Looking forward to an amazing show season with all of you in 2020!!!
