The Board of the EHOA are delighted to announce the 2008 Awards and would encourage all Members to participate by nominating their rider, their favourite event or, if they are an owner rider, themselves for an Award. Details of the Awards and the applicable conditions are set out below.
Nomination forms may be downloaded by clicking on the link below or by sending a SAE to Guy Scammell at Archer Farm, Little Buckland, Broadway, Worcs., WR12 7JH. Nominations can be sent at any time during the season until 30th September for all but the Most Owner Friendly Event Award which is open until 20th October which is the last practical date before the EHOA Annual Dinner on 28th October at which the Awards are presented. All nominations must be sent to Guy Scammell at the address above or to archerfarm@btopenworld.com
Members may nominate their riders for the two awards. The winner will receive a cheque for £1000 and the runner up a cheque for £500. Riders need to be aged between 22 and 30. The Awards are aimed at those who have recently set up on their own.
This Award is presented to the Owner of the horse which is registered at the beginning of the season as Grade 3 or 4 ( 0-21 points ) and which gains the most points in that season.
Owner Riders can apply for this Award to help them meet the costs of eventing.
Members can nominate the Event that they have found to be the most friendly to Owners during the course of the season. The Award is designed to reward the organisers and to help the event for the following year.
Presented to the Owner registered for the first time and new to British Eventing whose horse has gained the most points in the season. Also to the Owner whose horse, registered for the first time, has gained the most points.
This magnificent silver plaque is presented to the Owner of the horse which gains the most points in the season, the sire or dam of which is a full thoroughbred.
Unfortunately the Awards page in the Members Handbook which will reach members shortly contains some inaccuracies which will be corrected by sending out an amended page with the March Newsletter.
