The 2023 Reimbursement Request Process. Riders under age 18, as of January 1, 2023 are eligible to receive funds toward their 2023 ride entry fees. When a ride manager offers a 50% or more ride entry fee discount to riders under age 18, Equine Distance Riding Association (EDRA) will reimburse the ride manager up to 50% of the full-price ride entry fee. The reimbursement is only available for ride entry fees at events recognized by Pacific NW Endurance Rides, Inc. (PNER) or with EDRA officer approval, any EDRA endorsed event.
