Discrepancies and Questions

How to Check/Add Your Member ID:

To ensure you are getting credit for the points you earn at USEF-licensed Hunter Jumper shows, it is imperative that all riders, owners, trainers, and horses have their USEF and USHJA account ID's linked together. Below are the instructions to check your account and link it, if necessary.

1. 1. Login to your account.
2. 2. From your dashboard, click “edit,” which is in blue and on the left.
3. 3. From your profile page, at the top under “Member Information,” it says “USEF ID.”
4. 4. If that field is populated, verify that the USEF ID we have on file is correct. If it is incorrect, contact membership@ushja.org to update.
5. 5. If there is no USEF ID, click edit on the top right to input your USEF number.
   • If you do not yet have a USEF ID number, you can apply for one at USEF.org/join-usef/join-renew.
6. 6. Click “Update” to save.
