Special Awards

Linda Kuck Rising Star Award

Linda Kuck will award $500 to a young & up and coming horse show rider for the 2026 show season.  To be eligible for this award, English & Western riders must show in all 3 of our horse shows, qualified for a year end award and attend our year end celebration.

The Albrecht 80’s Award

Age is just a number—especially in the saddle!

Jamie Manning has generously donated a year-end award of $500 and a perpetual trophy to recognize the high-point horse and rider combination whose combined ages total 80 years or more. To be eligible, qualifying combinations must also:

  • Compete in all three shows, and

  • Attend the year-end awards celebration.

A special award honoring dedication, partnership, and the timeless joy of riding.

The Vetter Award

In memory of Charlie Vetter, a great friend and horse show and horse pull supporter, Kaye Saglibene generously donated a $225 credit for the 2026 horse show season to 2025’s winner, Aria Quatrocci.

All riders are eligible for this award in 2026 if they plan to compete in the next show year and attend the year-end celebration.
