Info on the Sr. Rookie Horse of the Year/PNER

We are currently in the running for ...

Sr. Rookie Horse of the Year Award
This award is for the new horse and senior rider team, neither of which has previously completed more than 100 miles of endurance or LD. This award targets people who are new to the sport and encourages completions over the long run. Initiated by Anne and Larry Eades, more than 25 years ago, this award supports the individual who can ride moderately, bring on a beginning younger (or older) horse, and produce a safe and consistent performance (completion). The award goes to the sr. rider/horse team with the most consecutive completions of PNER rides under 50 miles (LD). If you're pulled on an LD, the count goes back to zero and you start over.

We have three consecutive completions. Don't know if we will get one more ride in this year or not but we have completed 75 mi for 2008.
