(Lexington, KY) As approved by the 2005 FEI General Assembly, an annual FEI registration is now mandatory for all riders and horses competing in FEI events. This would include the following disciplines: Dressage, Reining, Show Jumping, Driving, Endurance and Vaulting, Paraequestrian and Eventing. The fee requirement will take effect on January 1, 2006 and it is renewable annually. Fees are $15.00 for each horse and $15.00 per rider.

This registration is in addition to acquiring a passport or horse recording. All horses and riders must be registered with the FEI before competing in any 2006 competitions. In addition, the FEI horse and rider registration form is available on the USEF web site, www.usef.org . On the homepage go to the menu on the left and select either “Competitions” or “High Performance.” The downloadable form is highlighted in red in those areas.
