🎖️2026 Perfromance Medal Criteria Update🎖️

A reminder to riders that the updated criteria for performance medals is now in effect
The increase in percentage scores required to receive a gold, silver or bronze medal is a reflection on the outstanding quality of horses we have in WA, and also brings us in line with the other states and National performance requirements.

Results can be submitted online throughout the season, and riders will receive their medals and certificates in the mail.
