Riders must be a paid Area IV Young Rider member to be eligible for awards. The Young Rider Coordinators receive an updated membership roster from USEA approximately once every 3 months. Be sure to join early so that your name will be on the roster provided to the event. Your name must appear on the roster provided to the YR Coordinators by USEA to be eligible.
The recipient will be announced via social media following the conclusion of the event. The ribbon will be mailed directly to the winner. On rare occasions, the award may be presented at the horse trial.
