2013 AHS Year End Award Winners Honored At 2014 Annual Meeting and Awards Banquet in Houston, Texas

Houston, TX: Hanoverian enthusiasts gathered from across the USA to receive coveted AHS Year End Award ribbons, trophies and coolers at the gala AHS Annual Awards Banquet in Houston, TX on Friday evening, February 7, 2014. The American Hanoverian Society Awards Program was developed to reward Hanoverians competing in sport. It has evolved over the years and awards are now given for dressage, eventing, hunters and jumpers, and sport horse breed shows. In addition to the regular year-end performance awards in these categories, a number of perpetual trophies and a Futurity Awards program have been established to acknowledge outstanding individual performances in sport as well as during the Annual Inspection Tour.Dressage
In dressage, we sponsor the Hanoverian All-Breeds Awards through the United States Dressage Federation (USDF) and give 14 awards for all the levels of competition including Freestyles. The Dressage Horses of the Year are chosen from among these winners.

Congratulations to all horses and their owner’s receiving awards in the USDF Hanoverian All-Breeds division. Detailed information on these horses is listed on the AHS website.
