Nominations are being accepted for the USEF Lifetime Achievement Award and Pegasus Medal of Honor, and the submission deadline is quickly approaching. Any current US Equestrian (USEF) member may submit nominations to US Equestrian by Friday, October 5.
The recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award will be acknowledged at the 2018 Pegasus Awards, to be held at the 2019 USEF Annual Meeting in January. The Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes the horseman or woman whose lifetime experience and accomplishments in the equestrian world exemplify uncommon devotion to competition with horses and whose equestrian career and horsemanship have continually elevated the sport’s excellence. The nominee must be living and retired from actively competing in equestrian sport.
Last year's Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Joseph Dotoli.
The Pegasus Medal of Honor will also be presented at the 2018 Pegasus Awards. This award recognizes individuals who have exhibited outstanding dedication and service to horses and equestrian sport. These individuals have excelled in attracting people to the sport and have contributed to horse sport by advancing its popularity. The nominee must be living and retired from actively competing in equestrian sport.
Jacqueline Mars, Mike Goebig, and Nancy Jaffer received Pegasus Medals of Honor at the 2018 USEF Annual Meeting.
