Nominate your horse or fill out a paper form and mail a paper copy to the Awards Chairman.
Show your horse, and accumulate scores.
Submit your volunteer hours or $50 and top two scores, from two different judges and two different shows to the Awards Chairman before October 15.
Score submissions accepted via the score submission form or email them to the Awards Chairman . Check your rated show scores at USDF SCORES.COM. (Note that if in the schooling division, you will need to submit scans, photocopies, or good quality photos (well-lit cell phone pics are fine) of the front of your tests if the scores were accumulated at a non-CLD Schooling Show.)
Volunteer hours accepted electronically via form on the volunteer page or email them to the Awards Chairman. (Note that if in the schooling division, you will need to submit scans, photocopies, or good quality photos (well lit cell phone pics are fine) of the front of your tests if the scores were accumulated at a non-CLD Schooling Show.)
Please, email CLD if you need assistance.
