The EQ|quest FEI Tests Perpetual Trophy
This award, now sponsored by AHS Publication Editor Sandra Werkheiser's equestrian community website EQ|quest, was originally conceived by Maurine (Mo) and Jim Swanson of Rolling Stone Farm in Slatington, Pa., as a new year-end award for American Hanoverian Society breeders and owners in 2006. The Swanson's commissioned a beautiful painting that hangs in the AHS office in Lexington, Ky. Each year, the names of the three winners are added on small brass plates around the frame and winners receive keepsake trophies with a photo of the painting at the annual meeting banquet.
Also new this year, Smart Pak Equine is sponsoring Reserve Champion awards for all of our divisions that have a second placed horse. Therefore, beginning this year we will be honoring the Reserve Champions in these three awards divisions also.
To be eligible for these awards, the horses must be in the AHS Registry (transferred in the case of German-papered horses) and the owner must be a current year member of the AHS (Active, Associate, Junior). Also we do require that the horse be Lifetime Recorded with USDF, and the owner and rider must be participating members with the USDF for their scores to count and medians to be determined. We strongly encourage that our members have declare the AHS as "their registry of choice" with the USDF so all of the important bases are covered and so the horses are already "set up" for All Breeds. Congratulations to all.
