USRider, the national provider of roadside emergency assistance for equestrians, is proud to announce a new partnership with the United States Dressage Federation.

The partnership establishes USRider as the official roadside service provider for USDF and is one of the new benefits offered to USDF members through their Member Perks Program.

Based out of Lexington, Kentucky, USDF is a non-profit organization dedicated to dressage, which they define as a method of horse training that develops the horse’s natural athletic ability and willingness to work, making him calm, supple and attentive to his rider. The USDF has a wide reach, with more than 125 affiliate local or regional clubs and more than 30 different educational programs.

USDF Executive Director Stephan Hienzsch says USRider’s excellent service makes it a perfect fit for the organization’s members.

"USDF is very pleased that USRider will be making available its roadside assistance product to USDF members as a USDF Member Perks Program Partner," Hienzsch said. "USRider offers a quality product and service that supports our members' equine interests, making USRider a perfect addition as a USDF partner."

USRider General Manager Bill Riss said the company is proud to have this association.

"USDF is one of the most respected organizations within the equine industry, and we are excited to be working with them,” Riss said. “USDF is dedicated to education and the promotion of dressage, and we are honored to provide their members the ability to be safe on the road through USRider membership.”

USRider - in its twelfth year of operation - is the only company ever to provide emergency roadside assistance for horse owners. Through the Equestrian Motor Plan, USRider provides nationwide roadside assistance and towing services along with other travel-related benefits to its Members.

The plan includes standard features such as flat-tire repair, battery assistance and lockout services, plus towing up to 100 miles and roadside repairs for tow vehicles and trailers with horses. Plus, USRider maintains – for its Members – a national database that includes emergency stabling, veterinary and farrier referrals.
