Series End Awards & Reception Info

 Champion and Reserve Champion of the virtual show series will be determined automatically by the rider’s highest score from two different virtual shows at each level on the same horse.

Example:  The highest training level score by a junior rider (who rode in two virtual shows) will get champion- the second highest will be reserve champion.   We will have this award for JrYr, AA and Open for each level. 

 Please join us for the Awards Reception which will be held on March 29th and generously hosted by Big Dee's.   This is a drop in event from 1- 4 PM to pick up your ribbons/prizes, get your picture taken and enjoy some great shopping.  Registration is FREE!
