To qualify for a Year End High Score Award, Horse-Rider combinations must have at least 3 scores, from 3 different judges, from 3 different show dates.

The exception will be for FEI riders, who will need 2 scores from 2 different judges at 2 different shows. The AVERAGE of the scores will be used to rank Horse-Rider combinations.

For scores to count towards ECRDA Year End Awards, riders must be ECRDA members in good standing at the time of showing
