The Area 8 Performance Awards
The Performance Awards are open to all SSA Members and points are accumulated for the performing standards of the horse/pony, rather than the rider. Points are awarded to a horse/pony, based on its own ability to do well under side saddle, across a wide spectrum of activities.
The scheme aims to encourage Members to ride side saddle in all events, not just Equitation (which does not count for points). Bonus points are awarded for competing in events and classes affiliated to other Equestrian and Breed Societies. Points are also gained by competing, even if not placed
The Competition runs from 1st January to 31st December in any year and is open to stallions, mares and geldings of four years of age and over, competing within the United Kingdom.
The awards are presented at the Area 8 new years party and all entries receive a rosette.
