The United States Equestrian Federation, Inc., and the United States Dressage Federation invite licensed dressage competitions to apply to become an official 2010 “qualifying competition” for the USEF Dressage Developing Programs and the FEI North American Junior and Young Rider Dressage Championships (NAJYRC).

The USEF Developing Programs and the NAJYRC Program include the following:
- USEF National Championships for Juniors, Young Riders, and Young Adult “Brentina Cup”
- FEI North American Junior and Young Rider Dressage Championships
- USEF National Young Horse and Developing Horse Dressage Championships

Competitions licensed for dates from January 1, 2010–December 31, 2010 will be considered at this time. A completed application for each licensed competition must be submitted and received by April 30, 2009. Applications received after this deadline will NOT be considered. In an exciting development for this year and to streamline the collection of applications, a new online application is available via the USEF website at www.usef.org/_IFrames/breedsDisciplines/discipline/allDressage/natdressage.aspx (click on the icon for qualifying competition application). This online form allows for easy electronic completion and submission of competition applications.
