Dear USDFD Member,
In order to compete as a disabled driver in FEI Competitions for the disabled, you must apply for a Para-Equestrian Identity Card (PE ID Card) through a formal “classification” process. The main reason to hold a PE ID Card is that it is required for competing as a member of Team USA in the FEI World Championships for Disabled Drivers held every two years.
Classification involves an evaluation of your disability by a trained FEI Classifier or Physical Therapist to establish a profile number and then a “Grade.” For driving we have Grade 1 and Grade 2 drivers.
Please see https://usdfd.org/team-usa/
If you are interested in signing up for the March 12th classification in Wellington, please notify Laureen Johnson [email protected] at USEF and Diane Kastama [email protected] at USDFD.
For any questions or for further information, please contact Diane.
