HDS AWARDS

HDS End Of Year Award Qualifying

  1. You must be a member of HDS, and have your horse/rider combination registered and paid.

  2. You need 4 volunteer hours to be eligible.  People with extra hours can donate them to whomever they choose.

  3. The show year follows the USDF show year, running from Oct 1 of the current year to Sept 30 of the next year.

  4. You need 5 scores to be eligible for National Level Awards, 4 scores to be eligible for FEI level awards, and 3 scores to be eligible for Freestyle awards.  The winner is determined by the AVERAGE of the top 5 scores at the national levels, the top 4 scores at the FEI levels and the top 3 scores for Freestyles.  One judge duplication is allowed.  If there are multiple judge duplications in the top number of scores for the level, the lower of the second duplicated judge’s score will be dropped and another non-duplicated judge’s score used.  If judge duplications result in not enough scores at the level, the horse/rider combination will not be eligible.

  5. To be eligible for an award at any level, the horse/rider combination must have been show at that level at an HDS show.  The top 5, 4 or 3 scores will be used no matter where they were received following the rules for judge duplication, but if the horse/rider combination did not ride at that level in an HDS show, the horse/rider combo will not be eligible for year end awards at that level.

  6. Scores for breed or age restricted classes are not eligible.

  7. Score equivalencies for other classes follow the USDF guidelines:
