So you are looking for that NEW horse…or NEW trainer? You find a website – the trainer’s bio says he/she is an upper level rider, has many years experience, etc. OR you are looking for a new horse and the ad states the horse is a 3rd Level Schoolmaster. How do you REALLY know??
You can go onto the USDF website and do a search on the horse or the rider…but the information is only available to people that have a membership. The information is not readily available….UNTIL NOW!
Enter….
I have to say – I had just way too much fun going through this site. It’s very informative.
Rider Search:
Punch in the rider’s name and WHAMO – this is what you can see.
That “Upper Level” Trainer that you spoke to turns out to not be an upper level trainer. Based on the results of his/her past…the trainer is only “qualified” at 1st Level.
Horse Search:
Enter the horse’s name into the search (you will need to know the horse’s “show” name…or you can find the horse by the rider’s name, as well).
That “3rd Level Schoolmaster” isn’t a schoolmaster after all; rather barely a 1st Level horse.
All of the scores for horse and rider – from any recognized USDF show – the scores are going to pop up for the last 19 years. Please note – there has been some talk on the forums that the information out there is not in its entirety. However, what is out there is what was reported to the USDF – so it is true.
What I found really eye opening is entering in the “big name” riders and horses. Talk about some SERIOUS time in the saddle. YEARS upon YEARS of riding every single level – over and over again – perfecting each and every time.
Have a gander at the site! It’s a lot of fun and a wealth of informationJ
