Rider's Membership Card
If showing in Non Pro classes (including Rookie) you must obtain NRHA Non Pro status prior to showing. If showing in Youth classes you must have a Youth membership card.
Important: NRHA requires Youth member birthdates to be on file.
Owner's Membership Card
If different from rider.
Competition License
All horses entered in NRHA approved competition are required to have a competition license. Application may take place only through the NRHA Office. Beginning in 2000, license applications will no longer be accepted at shows. If you have recently purchased a horse, please check with the previous owner or the NRHA Office. Your horse may already have a competition license and then a transfer must occur (only through the NRHA Office) prior to showing.
Please note: Normal processing time for membership and competition license applications or competition license transfers is approximately two weeks. Call NRHA for availability and fees for our rush service.
Eligibility
NRHA eligibility for the various classes and divisions is updated at the end of each show year for both horses and riders and remains in force for the balance of the current show year. You can check current eligibility of individual horses (Novice class eligibility) and riders (Division eligibility) by logging into the Members Only section of the site or by calling the NRHA Office
