Dear USHJA Zone 10 Members:
Awarded since 2008, the goal of the Amateur Sportsmanship Award is to recognize Amateur-Owner and Adult Amateur Hunter, Equitation and Jumper exhibitors who exhibit an outstanding degree of excellence and integrity by supporting their fellow competitors and volunteer their time and resources to various aspects of the industry. Some examples of this would include: serving on committees, providing sponsorships and promoting the welfare of the horse. Success in the show ring should be a secondary factor.

Nominations for the award may come from exhibitors, trainers, colleagues or peers. The nominee must be an Active or Associate member of USHJA. Members of the Zone 10 Hunter and Jumper Committees and past winners of the award are not are not eligible for nomination.
Nominations close on October 1, 2013.
The award, along with a piece of jewelry reflective of the award’s mission, will be presented to the winner during the Zone 10 Banquet at the Tropicana Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, NV.
The Zone 10 Committee will appoint four individuals, including two amateurs, to act as the review committee and select a winner.
