CSI Awards Program

Horse of the Year Awards

Horse of the Year awards are designed to recognize Curly Sport Horses for achievement in specific divisions.

The Award Year for HOY awards runs from November 15th to November 14th of the following year. This is a new rule starting in 2008, so there is a slight overlap with the 2007 competition year. However, please note that scores may only be applied to one competition year. Rule Change!

In order to qualify for HOY awards, the horse must be registered with CSI in one of the curly "blood" divisions, excluding breeding stock improvement registered horses. The owner must be a current member, in good standing. The rider does not have to be a member of CSI.

If a horse is nominated for HOY and is sold, any show results are transferred to the new owner with the horse's registration papers. However, it is the new owners responsibility to complete the HOY requirements in order to earn an award. By virtue of a change in rider, the horse may move into a different division, for example, the change in rider may move the horse into the "open" division.

Competitors riding horses competing for CSI HOY awards do not have to be members of CSI, but they must compete in the 'open' division, regardless of age or amateur status.

Show Report Form or Dressage tests (for ridden and driven dressage) must be postmarked within 14 days of the show date in order to count toward HOY awards. Rule Change!

For each HOY award offered, there will be awards in the following divisions:

Division Definition
Junior Competitor is under 18 as of January 1 of the competition year
Amateur Over 18 as of January 1 of the competition year and does not accept renumeration for teaching, riding, driving, training (please see USEF Rule Book for details)
