OBJECTIVE: To help Young Riders become aware of the importance of classical and effective riding.

This program is open to all dressage riders (BCYR Members in good standing) between the ages of 12 - 21 that reside in British Columbia
Any rider who receives an 8 for Rider Position in their collective marks at an Equine Canada - National (passport needed) recognized show, will be eligible to receive a lapel pin with an 8 superimposed over a riding boot. This award will identify the rider as someone who has achieved a very high standard of riding. There is no limit to the number of pins a person may receive.
Riders must submit copies of the test before: October 15.
The copy must show all of the collective scores, recognized show, date as well as the signature and printed name of the judge. Please use the 2007 - "8" Program Registration Form.
Tests can be submitted at any time before the deadline of October 15, 2007. Please retain the original test copy for your records.
At the BC Young Riders Annual Awards Dinner, the rider with the most 8's will receive a gold stock pin in the shape of an 8 with a diamond chip in it. Value of pin - $300.00. BCYR members only are eligible for this pin.
To break a tie, the collective marks for submission will be the first marker to separate the riders.
Failing to do so, the highest aggregate score of the tests will be used to break the tie.
Failing to do so, the level of test will be considered, the higher level will be used to break the tie.
Any rider receiving a score higher than an "8" for Rider will automatically receive a stock pin.
Multiple winners of the Rider with the most "8"'s, will receive an additional diamond chip for their current gold stock pin.
Awards will only be given out at the BCYR Year End Banquet or other BCYR meeting/event. Out of town riders will have their pin mailed.
