Rider Dispensations
Riders with permanent disabilities use this form to apply for a Rider Dispensation Certificate that approves the use of adaptive equipment and other allowances. The dispensation is for riders only, not for their mount.
Rider Dispensation applications must be emailed to competitions@usawe.org
Once approved, a copy of your Rider Dispensation Certificate must be included with each show entry.
Copies of your Rider Dispensation Certificate should be brought to all shows. You are responsible for providing copies to the Judge(s) and TD at the show before the competition begins.

Competitor Feedback Form
Competitors: Help improve competitions by providing feedback we can share with competition organizers.
Competition organizers work hard to provide opportunities for our members to participate in high-quality events.
The Competitions committee would like to provide an opportunity for members to share feedback with competition organizers without worrying about that feedback impacting relationships. Thus, we’re providing an online Competitor Feedback Form, which we will use to provide summaries of the feedback received (both positive kudos and constructive criticism).
We encourage all competitors to take a few moments to share what you love about the competitions you experience as well as suggestions for improvement.
