Achievement Awards

Amateur Achievement Awards

Modeled after the popular Achievement Awards program, which tracks a horse's performance, the AAA program assigns points to individual riders, handlers and drivers. Riders don't have to own the horse they compete with since this program tracks riders only. Available for youth and adults.

Qualifying classes and rides include AHA Recognized & US Equestrian Federation/EC-rated shows and events; Endurance & Competitive Trail rides and open dressage classes; USEA Eventing; and some pole bending and barrel racing competitions in Arabian divisions.
