FADS SEASON-END AWARDS PROGRAM
Riders do not need to apply for these awards.
2020 FADS Season-End Awards Cancelled: Due to COVID-19, most of the 2020 FADS shows have been cancelled; therefore, there will be no 2020 FADS Season-End Awards. Let's all hope that 2021 will be a much better year. Stay safe and well.
FADS has two show seasons:
At the end each show season with at least six shows, Champion and Reserve Champion Season-End High Score ribbons will be awarded to horse/rider combinations competing at dressage levels. Additional places may be awarded, depending upon the number of eligible horse/rider pairs. The levels receiving ribbons will depend on the number of qualifying horse/rider combinations participating in FADS shows. Depending upon the number of entries, there will most likely be awards in the following levels:
1) USDF Introductory Level
2) USEF Training Level
3) USEF First Level
4) USEF Second Level
5) USEF Third Level
6) USEF Fourth Level
7) FEI (PSG, Intermediaire I and II, and Grand Prix)
8) USEA Dressage Tests
Other award tests/divisions/levels may be added, combined, or eliminated based on the number of qualified horse/rider pairs.
To qualify for each season, a horse/rider combination must compete at the level in at least two shows on the FADS Show List. Scores will be the mean of all rides at a level. After the awards are announced, a rider has one day to inquire about a possible error.
