Measurement Requirements
A Dressage Pony is any
breed of horse or pony that measures at or below 148 cm without shoes or 149 cm with shoes. That translates to about
14.2 1/4 hands. If your pony already has a USEF measurement card, you will need to send a copy with your entry forms. There will be an official measurement conducted
at the show for any ponies without a card. There is no charge for measurements or the paperwork processing. For more detailed information, visit this site:

Measurement Forms
The USEF provides forms to be filled out with the information needed to have your pony measured. We will include these forms
in the show packet at check in and they will need to be presented with your pony at inspection. To facilitate a speedy measuring
process, it will help to have your pony trained to stand quietly and squarely with his head lowered so that his withers are
the highest part of his body. You can practice this at home to prepare him for people approaching him with a large stick
so that he learns to stand still. Ponies should be presented neatly groomed with a halter. They will be jogged
to check for lameness during the measurement exam. Ponies should trot quietly next to their handler for several
strides on a hard surface.
