Ride & Drive
A rewards program designed to give recreational riders, drivers and vaulters an extra incentive to spend more hours in the saddle or behind the breeching.
The Ride & Drive reward program is open to all AEF members having fun with their horses! It gives riders, drivers, and vaulters an extra incentive to spend more hours in the saddle or behind the breeching, whether for practice, exercise, therapy or just plain fun.
There is no age restriction — it’s for the young and the young at heart! All that’s required is an AEF membership and entry into the Ride & Drive program. Members then start logging their hours of riding and driving. The hours accumulate and continue to build, year over year, even when you re-register. This means you never lose your hours.
Rewards are progressive, starting at 25 hours and maxing at 2,000 hours. Time spent riding or driving must be logged regularly and submitted if requested.
How does it work?
The Ride & Drive program is designed to provide extra incentive to spend more time in the saddle for practice, exercise, or just plain fun! Work at your own pace and count the hours you spend doing what you love. When you reach a certain number of program-level hours, submit them to us and we will send you your rewards!
Submit your hours when you reach a milestone (25, 50, 100, etc.) via:
Online
All you do is log your hours. Milestone submissions must be within 12 months of being earned to be eligible for a reward. For example, if you completed 100 hours on January 30, 2026, submit your 100-hour milestone before January 30, 2027, to be eligible to receive the 100-hour reward. Then you will receive rewards based on your hours. Submissions are only required once a Ride & Drive milestone is reached.
Corresponding prizes are awarded for the milestones submitted (e.g., if you logged 100 hours, submit milestones for 25, 50, and 100-hour levels to receive prizes for each level).
