COME BACK SOON, JULES!--We will sorely miss the expressive and competitive riding of Jules Anderson, who for many years--especially in 2007--filled the GHF shows with her horses in training and the horses of her energetic and dedicated students. The June 2007 GHF show could have been called "The Jules Anderson Show" because it was completely scheduled around the four FEI horses that she was competing--both days! Clever as she is, she has not found a way to ride two horses at once! After her very successful winter season in Florida, she will move back home to Virginia to help her mother, FEI dressage judge Libby Anderson, whose recent riding accident precipitated Jules' move. Her farm on Birmingham Highway in Alpharetta has been taken over by Amber Clark.

GHF YEAR-END AWARDS
To be eligible for these awards, riders do not have to be GHF members nor do they have to submit their scores. Final tabulations will be done at the end of the year (after the September show) by the GHF office. Scores from the following shows will be used: Three Horsemen (March), GHF Dressage at the Horse Park (April), GHF Annual Show (June) 1st and 2nd Editions, GHF Summer Dressage Show (August) and GHF Fall Dressage Show (September).
It is the competitors’ responsibility to check their scores that are published when the year-end results are posted on the GHF website’s Awards page following the September show.
For all awards, scores will be taken from Training through Fourth Level, Prix St. Georges, Intermediaire I and II, Grand Prix, ridden in the Open, Adult Amateur and Jr./YR divisions. Results below 60% will not be awarded . The total number of scores from each horse/rider combination per level will be averaged to arrive at a “percentile” score.
An "Award of Excellence" certificate will be given at the end of the year to the six horse/rider combinations achieving the highest
percentiles in three divisions: Open, Adult Amateur and Junior/Young Rider. To compete for this award, riders must have at least three scores to be averaged.The “High Achievement” Plaques will go to the top two horse/rider combinations achieving the highest percentiles in the following levels: Training through Fourth Level, Prix St. Georges, Intermediaire I and II, Grand Prix (freestyle performances are recognized in the division awards by "The Award of Excellence" plaques.) To compete for the High Achievement Awards, riders must have at least three scores to be averaged.
Also awarded will be the “70 Percent Medals” which will be given to riders achieving scores of 70 percent or better at Training through the FEI levels (any division), excluding Freestyle, Introductory and the FEI Young Horse tests which are scored differently and cannot be compared.
Please check your scores and notify the GHF office
immediately if you see an error.
We are tabulating the Year-End Awards scores now. Cheers!
