I just got notice that someone reported me as being a coach of a local show team and therefore violating amateur status. I only just joined usef last week with the goal of doing my first low adult hunter class in November! I taught through college, but not since then… I’m a barn manager/groom now - no riding/teaching/training at all, just stalls/turn out/holding for the farrier kind of stuff. Definitely an amateur!
Just looking for information on how the process goes? I’m definitely an amateur, but will I be suspended until the accusation is cleared? Really gives me a very sour taste of USEF and I’m wishing I hadn’t bothered to pay all that money to join usef & ushja & get my horse registered!
