Region 5 April News
I’m thankful spring is here and happy to be home again in Colorado. I’ve enjoyed working with quite a few of the region’s GMOs and members on various things throughout the winter. The busy months of summer are ahead of us, lots of time with family, friends and our horses.
The deadline for Participating Member Delegate nominations is April 15. Our region will have 5 PM delegates for the 2024 USDF Convention in Houston, Texas December 4-7. You can check the status of our delegate nominees by going to the link below. Please check your status to make sure your acceptance is there if you would like to be a PM delegate candidate. If you are not listed and you would like to be a PM delegate, please contact Virginia Sorenson at g_sorenson@yahoo.com. Please do not commit to be a delegate unless you know you can attend. There is some financial assistance from our Region for those PM delegates who do attend the convention. We really need the representation to help give your Region a voice.

US Equestrian Introduces Microchip Rule for Equine Health and Safety
by US Equestrian Communications Department | Sep 5, 2023, 10:11 AM EST
Lexington, Ky. – The US Equestrian Federation strives to consistently ensure the safety and welfare of both our human and equine athletes. One fundamental aspect of equine safety is microchipping. Microchips in horses allow for immediate onsite verification of horses for the purpose of safeguarding the health of each horse. This is vital, especially during times of disease outbreaks or natural disasters.
To this end, the US Equestrian Board of Directors approved a new microchipping rule during the 2023 Mid-Year Board meeting. Beginning December 1, 2025, under GR 1101.1, all horses competing in USEF-licensed or -endorsed competitions must be microchipped with a 15-digit ISO compliant 11784/11785 chip.
SAAHA- Southern Arizona Arabian Horse Association- is sponsoring a High Point Award for Arabians, Half Arabians or Anglo Arabians at Tucson shows.
