Licensed Officials play an integral role at Federation licensed competitions by ensuring a fair playing field, safe competition environment, and supporting competition participants. For Dressage, officials can serve as Judges and Technical Delegates. You can give back to the sport you love by becoming a Licensed Official.  For more information on how to apply to become a licensed official,  visit the Become Licensed webpage on the USEF website.
