Membership Verification

Many clubs require their members to have an AEF membership; often the Club Directors and Officials Liability Policy requires their members to have an AEF membership. Also, if an individual competes in a sanctioned horse show they must have a current AEF membership, and the show organizer needs to verify this information before the individual can participate. Either way, if your club or organization requires AEF membership, you can request access to membership verification and we will make it available by the click of your mouse.

Likewise, many businesses offer discounts to AEF members to encourage their business. If you choose to offer a discount to members, you can request access to membership verification and we will make it available by the click of your mouse.

Referral Credits

Refer brand new members to the AEF and receive a credit of $5 per referral. Credits go toward the cost of the next calendar year’s membership. To receive referral credits, the new member must submit your business name along with your AEF membership number when signing up. This is a great way to get a free membership!
