All-American Standings:
The only performance-based award in our sport

The All-American Awards are earned by horses and riders based on their performance throughout the show season. Every ribbon winner at each qualifying show is eligible to earn points towards the All-American Awards bestowed in 59 different categories. To be eligible as a qualifying show, the show must be:

1) sanctioned by USA Equestrian
2) be at least three days in duration, and
3) have at least 100 horses total in the American Saddlebred, Hackney Pony, Roadhorse and Saddle Seat Equitation divisions.

Points are earned based on the size of the show and the number of horses in the class. All championship classes earn points. For shows with over 400 horses, points are awarded for qualifying classes.

The National Horseman wanted a fitting award for the 59 All-American Champions. Recognizing an accomplishment this noteworthy requires an award that will be treasured. We commissioned Diane Maroscia (Dimaro) to design the bronze that each of our All-American Champions will receive.
