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!
