Lexington, KY— Sharing the United States Equestrian Federation’s (USEF) goal of ensuring the safety and well-being of horses, USRider is proud to partner with the USEF in an effort to further enhance the safety of those who travel with horses.

USRider provides emergency roadside assistance and towing services through their Equestrian Motor Plan along with other travel-related benefits. With an annual fee comparable to that of other roadside assistance programs, USRider offers many services geared especially toward horse owners.

USRider will arrange towing services for a loaded trailer, and even arrange for emergency stabling for horses, if necessary, while a vehicle is being repaired. The plan includes veterinary and farrier referrals, as well as a valuable members-only benefit that offers exclusive money-saving discounts from nationally recognized equine retailers, providing special "member only" deals on items for horse, rider and enthusiast, including equestrian gifts, jewelry, art, tack, apparel, vet supplies, services and more.

Members of the USEF can take advantage of a special offer through the USEF MemberPerks program. To kick off the new relationship with USEF, members who join USRider will receive a $10 discount on their first year annual membership fee for USRider’s roadside assistance plan. In addition to the annual membership savings, USRider will discount the activation fee by $10 (from $29 to $19) for USEF members who join USRider (valid until April 30, 2009; use Promotional Code USEF09).

As an added benefit, USRider members are covered in any non-commercial vehicle they are traveling in, even if they are not driving or towing a horse trailer. The member only need be present for coverage to be applicable. However, USRider is designed for the personal use of its members and their horses and is not available for professional, commercial/business, or haul-for-hire. Due to a high level of interest in USRider coverage from commercial entities, USRider plans to roll out a commercial/professional plan in the spring of 2009.
