2021 MAHB Awards

Awards Submission Deadline:  December 15th
Submit Awards Qualifications to: Phyllis Svendsen
If you are a member of MAHB and most likely the owner of a Hanoverian or Rhinelander, we want to highlight your horses!  If you are showing in the Dressage Sport Horse Breed classes, Hunter Breed classes or Dressage classes we have awards.

The following is the MAHB YEAR-END AWARD CRITERIA:
  1. Horse must be Hanoverian-registered or Rhinelander-registered and bred OR owned by a current MAHB member.  Only current members can win an award and they must be a member when the horses scores are earned.  Breeders may submit scores for horses they sold and are being shown by the new owner, but the horse must have been bred by them.  Owners may submit scores for horses that they purchased and currently own, and did not breed, but the scores must be earned while they owned the horse.
  2. In-Hand:  Scores may be submitted from any USDF recognized IBC class or points from any USEF hunter breeding class.
  3. Under Saddle:  Dressage scores may be submitted from any recognized USDF competition.
  4. The average of the highest two scores or points submitted will be used.  Scores or points must be earned at two different shows and two different judges.
  5. An award for the In-Hand classes will be given in three categories to the horse with the highest average.  In the case of a tie in a category we will give two awards.
  • DSHB- Young horse
  • DSHB- Mature Horse
