Affiliate Equitation Awards Program

USHJA Sponsorship of Affiliate Organizations' Equitation Awards Program

Purpose:
To increase USHJA's outreach in the equestrian community, by further informing and educating individuals who partake in equestrian sports at the unrecognized and local horse show level.

Specifications:
This Equitation Award program is only offered to organizations that are Affiliate Members of USHJA. Affiliate Organizations may choose to participate through offering Medal Finals Classes at a designated horse show or by using cumulative points through the competition year to determine their year-end award winners.

Participation through Medal Finals:
Medal Finals horse shows which are hosted by USHJA Affiliate Organizations and offer Finals for Adults, Children, and/or Ponies. The specifications for these classes are completely under the jurisdiction of the Affiliate Organization and should reflect the needs of its membership.

For participating horse shows, the USHJA will provide a "keepsake" for each Medal Finals qualifier who is a USHJA Outreach Level Member (to be presented at each Association's Medal Finals) and would provide an award for each Medal Finals winner.

Participation through Cumulative Competition Year Point Totals:
Affiliate Organizations that determine their 'high score' award winners through cumulative year-end point totals may choose to honor their top award winners in their Adults, Children, and/or Ponies Equitation/Medal Classes through this program.

The USHJA will provide a "keepsake" for the top ten point earners in each Equitation section who are USHJA Outreach Level Members. The USHJA would provide a high score award for the top point earner in each of the Equitation sections (a maximum of three sections). A photo of each High Score winner who is a USHJA Outreach Level Member will be included in the Affiliates Award Yearbook that the USHJA publishes annually.
