The UDS Short Tour Show series has a separate Year End award system. Awards are offered for Introductory, Training, First, and Second levels to Jr/YR, AA, and Open UDS members

The UDS perpetual trophies are awarded based on scores earned only at UDS/USEF/USDF recognized shows that are physically in Utah and awarded at the UDS Annual Banquet. It is awarded to the highest percentage of that level regardless of the division.

UDS designed this award to spotlight exceptional equine talent. Equine Achievement Awards are awarded to an individual horse.

The horse’s owner will receive, as an award, an engraved plaque for the first UDS Achievement Award the horse earns. An engraved notation will be added to the plaque for each subsequent UDS Equine Achievement Award the horse earns. A single horse may be awarded only one (1) UDS Equine Achievement Award at each level; however, a horse may be awarded a UDS Equine Achievement Award at every level. (Scores do not need to be earned with the same rider)

There is no time limit for earning qualifying scores. However, because the UDS Equine Achievement Award program began in 2001, only qualifying scores earned during 2001 and later, shall count toward the award.

To apply for the equine achievement award, BOTH the horse’s owner and the horse’s rider must be members of UDS at the time the score is earned.

• The rider must be a UDS member, having a USDF GMO membership number.

• The owner must be a UDS member, having a USDF GMO membership number.

• The horse must have a USDF Horse identification (HID) or Lifetime Horse Registration number (LHR).

• 65% at Training Level
