How does my horse earn points for the Silver Stirrup Awards?
The Silver Stirrup Awards are based on points earned in USEF recognized competitions. Therefore, the first step is that the competition must be recognized by USEF. Secondly, the horse must be recorded with USEF, and the owner must be a member. (Remember: Only recorded horses earn points with USEF.) Finally, and most obviously, the horse must place in the class. All points are based on USEF’s Horse of the Year program. Those rules and point calculations can be found in the USEF Rule Book. For dressage and eventing, those point scales can be found on the PHR website under Silver Stirrup – Award Rules.
