This year DLSC is once again partnering with The Jockey Club to add T.I.P. Year End Awards for eligible horses who compete at DLSC shows this year.

 

Awards Ribbons and Prizes will be awarded for the following:

• High Score Dressage Champion

• Dressage Reserve Champion

• High Point Hunter Champion

• Hunter Reserve Champion

• High Point Jumper Champion

• Jumper Reserve Champion

 

All awards are Year End and based on performance scores or points accumulated throughout the season. Points are automatically calculated but DLSC must be notified of eligibility. Notification of eligibility is due by October 31. Each award is given regardless of level or class competed.

 

Eligibility

Only Thoroughbreds that have been registered with The Jockey Club or a foreign Thoroughbred stud book recognized by The Jockey Club are eligible. Riders and owners must apply for a T.I.P. Number. Note: T.I.P. Numbers are FREE! To apply for a T.I.P. Number, go to www.TJCTIP.com and click on T.I.P. Number/Data Entry. 

 

Award Requirements

In addition to the eligibility requirements above, the following will be used to calculate points for the awards:

• DLSC attendance requirements – horses must participate in a minimum of 4 shows. For Hunter and Equitation awards, horses must participate in all 3 classes of any division for attendance to count.

• High Score Dressage – scores must be obtained at a minimum of 4 shows but can be collected at any level and with any rider. Only the highest score achieved at a show will count towards the awards and that score must be applied to a DLSC Year End award (even if it is the 5th score and dropped for DLSC purposes). A horse’s Year End Average is calculated by averaging their scores collected for the year in those DLSC qualifying division. Champion and Reserve Champion will be awarded based on the highest Year End Average.

• High Point Hunter – Points can be collected in any of the Hunter or Equitation divisions, can be with different riders but points must count towards a valid DLSC Year End award (ie: compete in all 3 classes/division and under DLSC Year End requirements). Points will be awarded based on placing in classes using DLSC point amounts (i.e. 7 points for 1st place, 5 points for 2nd place, etc.). Champion and Reserve Champion will be awarded to the horses that accumulate the most points for the season.  Ties will be broken based on over fences points accumulated.

• High Point Jumper - Points can be collected in any of the Jumper divisions, can be with different riders but points must count towards a valid DLSC Year End Award (ie: compete in both classes/division and under DLSC Year End requirements).  Points will be awarded based on placing in classes using DLSC point amounts (i.e. 7 points for 1st place, 5 points for 2nd place, etc.). Champion and Reserve Champion will be awarded to the horses that accumulate the most points for the season.  Ties will be broken based on the average number of points per division entered.
