Membership
Everyone can be a member and supporter of NDPC!
Members receive notification of NDPC news and updates via email, including occasional discounts and rewards.
The competition season begins November 1st and concludes on October 31st annually, and membership must be renewed each year to remain valid.
Pony/Riders and Small Horse/Riders can become members at any time during the competition season before Midnight EST on October 31st. Scores for Year-End Awards will be retroactively counted back to the beginning of the season.
All scores at any level, from any USDF or USEF show, will count toward Year-End Awards. A minimum of 2 scores is required per level. If you only have one score at a level, you will be greyed out in the standings.
Owners do not have to be members. Each rider must be registered for each pony or small horse for scores to be collected for Year-End Awards.
Ponies and small horses can be added to Rider Memberships for an additional $30 per pony/small horse.
Riders cannot be added to Pony and Small Horse Memberships; each rider must be registered separately for their scores to be counted.
Supporting Memberships are available for those who would like to support and connect with the NDPC but do not currently ride or show a pony or small horse.
USEF Pony Measurement Cards must be on file with the USEF and NDPC Small Horse Measurement Forms must be on file with the NDPC by Midnight EST on October 31st for the NDPC to officially count scores toward the Year-End Awards.
If you are viewing the monthly Year-End Standings and you see that your name is greyed-out and the placing number skips you, it means we were not able to verify the Pony Measurement at the time of the standings. If you believe this is an error, please contact USEF and ensure that they have your Pony Measurement on file. This also applies to small horses, however please contact the NDPC for verification.
