Region 5 December News
We had a great turnout for the 2024 Adequan/USDF Convention from Region 5! It was great to see everyone. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to join us in education and governance. I enjoyed getting to talk with everyone and our pizza lunch party was very fun.
One of the biggest things to come out of the convention was the approval by the Board of Governors of Para Dressage as part of the USDF and, effective January 1st, USDF will become the USEF Recognized Affiliate Association for Para Dressage as well as Dressage.
USDF Launches Book Club Featuring Top Authors and Professionals
Lexington, KY (July 1, 2024) - The United States Dressage Federation™ (USDF) is pleased to announce the launch of the new USDF Book Club. This exciting program is the newest in a long list of education initiatives and opportunities created and offered by USDF. By participating in the USDF Book Club, members will be introduced to the published works of the industry’s top authors and professionals, and engage them in firsthand discussions through webinars and on The Dressage Radio Show podcast.
Each year, USDF will host four webinars, one for each of the four books selected annually, where authors will be invited to participate to discuss their works from the writing process and content matter, to how their thoughts on the subject may have evolved since publication. Participants will also have the opportunity to participate in question and answer sessions, both in the webinars and when the authors are featured on The Dressage Radio Show podcast. Additionally, participants in the USDF Book Club will have opportunities to earn education credits, while their home USDF Regions and Group Member Organizations (GMOs) compete to earn awards based on participation.

US Equestrian Introduces Microchip Rule for Equine Health and Safety
by US Equestrian Communications Department | Sep 5, 2023, 10:11 AM EST
Lexington, Ky. – The US Equestrian Federation strives to consistently ensure the safety and welfare of both our human and equine athletes. One fundamental aspect of equine safety is microchipping. Microchips in horses allow for immediate onsite verification of horses for the purpose of safeguarding the health of each horse. This is vital, especially during times of disease outbreaks or natural disasters.
To this end, the US Equestrian Board of Directors approved a new microchipping rule during the 2023 Mid-Year Board meeting. Beginning December 1, 2025, under GR 1101.1, all horses competing in USEF-licensed or -endorsed competitions must be microchipped with a 15-digit ISO compliant 11784/11785 chip.
SAAHA- Southern Arizona Arabian Horse Association- is sponsoring a High Point Award for Arabians, Half Arabians or Anglo Arabians at Tucson shows.
