It’s time for the U.S. Equestrian Federation Lifetime Achievement Award and Pegasus Medal of Honor Award nominations, and the deadline to submit them will be upon us soon. Any current USEF Member may submit nominations, and they need to be received by the USEF on or before Tuesday, Sept. 30.

The recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented with the Jimmy A. Williams trophy at the 2015 USEF Annual Meeting. This award recognizes the horseman or woman whose lifetime experience and accomplishments exemplify uncommon devotion to the sport of competition with horses 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 Jimmy A. Williams trophy was awarded to Keith Bartz.

The recipient(s) of the Pegasus Medal of Honor Award will also be presented at the 2015 USEF Annual Meeting. This award recognizes individuals who have exhibited outstanding services to horses and the sport, and who, through their dedication, have attracted people to the sport and contributed to horse sport by advancing its popularity. The nominee must be living and be retired from actively competing in equestrian sport.

Linda Bibbler, Larry Langer, and Dr. Armand Leone were awarded Pegasus Medals of Honor at the 2014 USEF Annual Meeting.

Nominations can be submitted in writing or via email and must include the nominee’s name, city, and state of residence, discipline(s) and/or breed(s), your reason for suggesting him/her, accomplishments, accolades, and any other information pertinent to any involvement in the horse industry.

Please also include your name, mailing address, email address and daytime telephone number so the Federation may contact you for any additional details.
