PDFAWARDS
TRAINING SCHOLARSHIPS: A volunteer can qualify to be entered into a pool for scholarships if he /she volunteers for 3 or more days. The number of scholarships that will be awarded will depend on the financial health of IEO. Typically, scholarships are awarded in $100 increments. Recipients are drawn by random, we use the “pull a name from the hat method” at the year end awards banquet. Beginning in 2018, the one young rider who tallies up the most volunteer time will automatically receive a $100 scholarship. Ties for the young rider scholarship will be broken by random drawing.
SCHOOLING SHOW AWARDS: There are two categories of awards offered at each show and can be won by both members and non members- Level High Score of the Day and Division High Score of the Day.

YEAR-END MEMBER AWARDS: The IEO Year-End Awards Program was created to recognize excellence in dressage performance within the membership population competing in our schooling show series. The awards are primarily given to horse/rider combinations and are given for each level of competition. Awards will be presented at the annual IEO Banquet. Eligibility: The rider must be a member of the IEO when scores are earned. The rider or member designee must contribute 1 full day or 2 half days of service to the IEO (shows, clinics, special programs). The participant must compete in at least 3 IEO schooling shows at the level at which they wish to be considered for a year-end award. Award Calculation: The 3 highest scores, the highest from each show, will be averaged. Scores must be from at least 3 different shows and 2 different judges. Awards Categories: Junior; adult amateur; Open/Professional (except where noted). Annual Award Recognition will be given to first through eighth places or as participation warrants.
