United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) is again offering exhibitors in the Morgan and Saddlebred Divisions the opportunity to take part in a program that will provide an annual incentive award of $1,000 to the owners of the top horse that competes at USEF Cup competitions in their respective divisions. Additionally, the trainer of each horse will be awarded $500 for their efforts.

In order for individuals to be eligible for this incentive program, they must be a USEF member and record their horse (annual or life) with USEF prior to competing at any competitions offering the USEF Cup designation. A horse can only earn points in the division in which it competes. All classes in each Division/Section (not just classes offered for Horse of the Year; exception: Equitation) will count toward points for this award.

POINTS* WILL BE ACCRUED AS FOLLOWS IN ALL CLASSES AT SHOWS WITH THE USEF CUP COMPETITION DESIGNATION

*Equitation classes do not count towards the award. 1/2 points will be given at Local USEF competitions specific to these breeds
