AHANE 2014 YEAR END AWARDS PROGRAM
Are you showing this
year? Consider joining the AHANE Year End
Awards program. Beautiful ribbons and great
prizes are given out each year to program
participants. If you enter before April 15,
it only costs $15 per horse! Double points
are awarded at the AHANE show.
Not an AHANE member? Or a member of another
club? Individual members are also
eligible for the Awards Program.
You will get a confirmation email once your
entry form and payment are received, and
your AHANE membership is verified. Please
keep this verification. If you have not
heard from the club about your award by
January 15 of the following year, contact
us.
Nominations are good for one calendar year.
You must re-nominate your horse each year.
What are the deadlines?
We allow entry in the program up until the
last day of the AHANE show, however, if you
sign up before April 15, you will save $10
on the entry fee (only $15/horse).
Isn’t the program only for center
ring?
Not at all. In the past few years we’ve
given many Sport Horse and Dressage awards!
The divisions are:
Halter
Driving
Dressage
Country English Pleasure
Equitation
Hunter/Jumper
English Pleasure
Native Costume
Sport Horse in Hand
Hunter Pleasure
Showmanship
Show
Hack
Sport Horse Under Saddle
Trail
Western Pleasure
Walk/Trot
Awards are determined by
participation in the program, so, for
example, if horses in the program show in
Dressage, an award will be given. If there
are no participating horses in English
Pleasure, no awards will be given.
Who gets awards? How many are given?
Generally speaking, everyone who enters
receives an award. Nominations are by horse
– more than one rider/handler can be
included in a single nomination (maximum one
rider/handler per division)
This is my first year showing, should
I still enter?
Yes, absolutely! This is a fun program open
to everyone. The ribbons are beautiful –
give it a try.
My horse was injured before or during
show season, can I substitute another horse?
Substitutions are approved on a case-by-case
basis. If your horse is injured, you must
send a letter to the Club (AHANE, PO Box
554, Harvard MA 01451) explaining the
situation. If the substitution is approved
you will get a letter or email back
confirming the substitution.
When are the awards given out? Will I
know the results in advance?
Awards are given at the AHANE Banquet in
Sturbridge MA each February. Although this
has not been done in the past, starting in
2014 will announce the awards to program
participants one month in advance of the
Banquet. This is to ensure we have all of
the correct information.
