We have so many awards that you are eligible to take part in. Read on to find out more ...

In brief

bulletSpecial awards at shows to members on a registered Saddlebred.

SHOW AWARDS FOR SADDLEBRED HORSES (SASH) 

This is our most prestigious award and culminates in the title of "Champion" and the ability to use the CH prefix before your Saddlebred's name. It was adapted from the ASHA of Australia's SASH Awards (with permission of course!) and is based on accumulative performance points.

Bronze level is obtained on reaching 1,000 points Silver level upon reaching 2,500 points and Gold Level upon reaching 5,000 points and with it Championship status for your horse.

Sounds easy? Well, technically it is, except a win in a average class will earn you 20 points - that is where the hard work and achievement comes in: this award really is an honour and a credit to all those hard working Saddlebreds!

The first Saddlebred to achieve 5,000 points and Championship status was CH Celtic Champagne owned by Lynn Jarvis and trained by Excel Stables (see photo below, courtesy of Horse magazine). This mare achieved her award at the end of the 2002 show season and was presented with her SASH at the 2003 American Breeds Show. Following hot on her heels was the 50% partbred mare, CH Appledore Miss Serenade, owned by Dorothy Hasty, who achieved her championship status during the 2003 season. (See photo below). Dorothy was presented with Serenade's SASH at the 2003 AGM, as Serenade was due to foal in 2004 and so her award wasn't at our Championship Show, where we normally present these awards. CH Craycombe Golden Sandpiper became the third Saddlebred to achieve championship status in 2004, owned by Jennie Childs. He is a 50% gelding (PBA cross). Sadly "Henry" is no longer with us. CH Spellbound Reiver became our fourth Saddlebred to acheive championship status in 2009, owned by Donna-Marie Britton. He is a 93.75% partbred gelding.

Each season runs from 1st October to 30th September the following year.
