Annual Awards
Awards Program Information
To qualify for an Alpha Dressage Year End award, you must be a current ADA member. The competition year varies annually. Details to follow.
You need 3 scores at the same test level (ie. training) from three different shows with the same horse/rider combination. Any test of the level can be used. If you ride more than one test at the same level at a show, the higher scoring test will be used. The three highest scores for the year are averaged to determine the year end score.
Submit scores from 3 ADA shows, same horse and rider combination, of 55% or higher for Introductory through Fourth Levels, and Western Dressage levels. Two scores are required for FEI Levels.
A median score of at least 58% is required to qualify for an award at any level. Scores should be submitted to alphadressage@gmail.com .
Awards will be announced at the annual holiday banquet.
