USEF sends point notification emails to help fix any potential issues as early as possible. While you can always opt out of these emails, please be aware that you will no longer receive any point notification emails in the future.

USEF can backdate the start dates of USEF Horse Recordings (except Dressage) and USHJA Horse Registrations. For a horse recording or registration to retroact, the payment and paperwork must be received in the USEF office within 10 days of USEF sending notification of bad points to the owner. Currently, no other membership issue may be backdated at this time, unless the application was completed at a competition and sufficient paperwork is provided.

The Ranking & Results Search can be used to find current ranking based on points.

Ranking lists are available for all the sections earning National, Regional, and Zone points, as well as other rankings such as Grand Champions, Leading Owners, Leading Sires, etc. For USHJA Zone standings, visit the USHJA Results and Standings page.

A Horse Report or Rider Report is pulled to see the points (based on the applicable point chart or Money Won category) a horse or rider has earned during any given competition year or other period. Use the Horse Search to pull a Horse Report and the People Search to pull a Rider Report.

A Horse or Rider Report is a document that displays all the USEF licensed competitions the horse or rider in question has competed in during the selected period. A report may include one competition year, multiple competition years, or a selected period such as a qualifying period (a qualifying period may overlap competition years). The total number of points a horse or rider has earned for each section competed in is listed at the bottom of the report. Please keep in mind the total number of points is calculated based on the selected dates.

Please see the How to Read a Horse or Rider Report guide.

If you find any issues or inaccuracies with your Horse or Rider Report, please complete a Points Inquiry. A member of the Competition Services team will respond to your inquiry within 1-2 business days. (USEF office hours are Monday-Friday 8:30 am – 5:00 pm EST).

Per GR1214.1, competition results, corrections, and additions to the prize list must be sent to the USEF office within 10 days of the end of the competition.

The online results systems that many competitions use are not directly linked to the USEF results database. There is a delay between the end of the competition and when the results are available on the USEF website. Once the results are received by the Federation, they must be uploaded, coded, and verified. Due to the large volume of result data, processing may take up to 4-6 weeks.

Points are designated as “bad” when a class or section does not meet required specification(s). In programs or championships that require winnings to qualify, points and/or Money Won marked bad do not count towards year-end awards and/or qualifying purposes.

Bad points are indicated on the Horse or Rider Report under the “NAT PNT” and “ZRD PNT” columns. Under each of those columns, you will see “GOOD/BAD”. Points listed in front of the “/” are “good”, and points listed after the “/” are “bad”. For example, 25.00/0.00 and 0.00/5.00. The 25.00 points are “good” and the 5.00 points are “bad”.

Refer to the bolded reason listed in the line between each row of class listing, placing, points, and money earned. Please see the list above for reasons why points may be bad.

If you have earned prize money or awards at a competition, the competition will provide you with those winnings. Bad points do not affect the money or awards you win at a competition. Bad points only affect Zone or National Horse of the Year points and awards.

Miscellaneous classes or “divisions” do not have any specifications in the USEF Breeds or Disciplines chapters of the rulebook. They may be special classes where standings are maintained by affiliated organizations. These points do not count towards any National or Zone HOTY Award or National Championship or program for USEF or USHJA.
