The Award is an 8.5” x 12.5” silver plated elliptical platter engraved with the FHANA logo, award name, dressage division and level, horse name, and the recipient’s name. Awards will be mailed directly to the owners.

With twenty-two (22) possible dressage end of year awards, there were only 8 awards, meaning there were 14 dressage levels with no qualifying entries. Ridden dressage had no qualifying entries in Training, First, Second, Third, Fourth, Prix St Georges, Intermediate1 & 2, Grand Prix, and Z tests. Western dressage had entries in all their levels, but in several only 1 entry! There were no entries in driven dressage for Training, Preliminary, Intermediate, or Advanced (FEI)!

So, if ridden dressage, western dressage, or driven dressage is your passion, you should seriously consider entering the very affordable SHS events to receive the recognition that you and your horse deserve.

A testament to the availability of Spotlight Horse Show video events for FHANA members across North America, award winners were from the states of FL, MD, MI, MT, & TX.
