The first key point to understand is that where the three main disciplines are concerned, whatever the discipline, it appears in two forms — unaffiliated and affiliated. You will need to register the horse, the rider and the owner as well if they are two different people.
You will be issued with a membership card, a Rulebook and a right to compete at affiliated events It is probably fair to say that affiliated events are a higher level of competition than unaffiliated as affiliated events go right up to national and international level, but there is also a degree of overlap between the top end of unaffiliated events at local level and the bottom end of affiliated competition and many riders will do both.
Equally, even at affiliated level, horses can downgrade within their discipline for a new rider who may be less established, or a junior.
