MCTA Year End Awards Program
Have you placed at a horse trials this competition year? If so, you might qualify for one of the many awards that MCTA offers. Review the “Submission Guidelines” below for qualification details.
Just a reminder, all riders are eligible for awards in one rider division and all horses are eligible for awards in one horse division, even if they had points in several divisions (excluding the special trophies for Mare of the Year and Homebred Horse). We first try the division they would place highest in. If a rider or horse has won a division twice, they are no longer eligible for that division. Ties for high score awards are broken where possible by highest level, then by highest placing.
DEADLINE: December 1
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
- You must be a current MCTA member
- You must have completed a minimum of eight volunteer hours in the award year, at least four of which must be at MCTA’s own activities while the rest may be from 3-phase horse trials organized by individual MCTA members.
- You must complete and submit the Volunteer Hours Verification Form
- You must complete and submit the Year End Awards Registration Form
Please contact us at Mctayea@gmail.com for more information.
