FHANA Award Information

FHANA Award Information:

AWARD APPLICATIONS ARE DUE NOVEMBER 30

FHANA’s award program has been developed to support FHANA’s mission statement: “To promote and preserve the KFPS Friesian Horse in North America.” FHANA has a rich history of annual accolades that recognize its members’ dedication to our association and performance awards that recognize our members’ achievement with their horses. In 2018 FHANA’s Horse of the Year program, which recognizes horses of distinction in stallion and mare breeding, as well as riding, driving, and Mare Show performance was instituted. Starting in 2019, FHANA began recognizing performances at the regional level, and with the 2019 implementation of FHANA’s Young Horse Talent Cup Awards, FHANA now offers awards that recognize a horse’s accomplishments, regardless of the person showing that horse.  In 2021 with the enactment of the FHANA Lifetime Achievement Award, an award that recognizes a horse’s contributions over the whole of its career, there is now a hall of fame for our horses!

FHANA’s Performance Awards are designed to reward FHANA members who are excelling in their equestrian discipline.  There are eleven (11) FHANA Performance Awards: Ridden Dressage, Riding, Driving, Driven Dressage, Western Dressage, In-Hand, Youth Dressage, Youth Driving, Youth Riding Show Trainer, and Inspection Trainer. In 2019 FHANA implemented performance awards at the regional level, which allows for 7 different winners in those 9 different disciplines.  Each regional winner is recognized with an award during the FHANA Annual General Meeting, and the overall winner for each discipline will be the highest scoring regional winner and become a FHANA Champion for the year.  The 11 Champions will have their names placed on their discipline’s perpetual trophy that is currently displayed in the FHANA office.

Effective January 1, 2022, two (2) of the reported scores for our annual Talent Cup awards, as well as our Performance dressage awards, may be from videoed tests scored by Spotlight Horse Shows. Refer to http://www.spotlighthorseshows.com for listings of those opportunities.
