here to see what a dressage technical delegate does.
In order to receive an 'r' TD license, the individual must attend USDF
apprentice TD clinics and complete the requirements specified by USDF/USEF.
The entire process can take anywhere from two to eight years to complete.
At every step the Federation reviews the applicants progress, verification
documentation, and exams. It's a lot of work and an honor to be accepted
into and complete the TD 'r' program. CFD is extremely proud of Sarah
and her accomplishment. You go, girl! (Submitted 11/27/2009) More information from Sarah on earning her Recorded TD License.
