Youth Sportsman's Questions?
The primary goals of the USEF Youth Sportsman’s Award are to identify potential future
leaders in the equine industry, and to recognize youth for their achievements.
Applicants must be age 17 or under as of December 1 of the competition year, and active
members in good standing with USEF and their Recognized Association or International
Discipline Association. They should demonstrate an ongoing commitment to the promotion
of equestrian sport, serve as a positive role model for their peers, be involved in
community activities, and exhibit characteristics that exemplify positive sportsmanship
principles. Applicants may participate at any level of competition, including local,
regional or national events.
All Recognized Association or International Discipline Association winners will be
honored during the USEF Annual meeting, invited to a career session and possible tour
and will receive a $500.00 grant to be paid to the educational program of their
choice.
The overall USEF Youth Sportsman’s Award winner will also receive a trophy, a $1,000
grant to be paid to the educational program of their choice and a USEF Life
Membership. They will also be added as a candidate for the USEF Junior Equestrian of
the Year.
