The PRO As You Like It Owner's Award nominations have started. All riders are encouraged to nominate owners who have had a large influence over a rider's career and made an exceptional contribution to the sport. The award is underwritten by Sara Kozumplik. The winner receives an engraved Waterford crystal award and $5,000 in prize money that is awarded in the winner's name to any PRO Tour event of their choice. (click here for the nomination form)

 

All nominations need to be emailed to me or sent in by November 15th. Please take the time to think about your special owners and nominate them. The PRO awards selection committee is composed of Mary Coldren, Rick Dunkerton, Joanie Morris, Faye Woolf, Sara Kozumplik, Laura VanderVliet, Evie Dutton and Mark Hart. Each and every nomination is given serious consideration even if they have been nominated in the past and not been chosen, so do not let that deter you from re-nominating an owner again this year.

 

Take advantage of the 15% membership discount by selecting automatic renewal when you renew your PRO membership. The auto renewal option will renew your membership on December 1st of each year and charge it to your credit card. (click here for the Renewal form and the Categories list)

 

Best of luck to Boyd Martin, Tamra Smith and Michael Pollard at Boekelo this weekend. Boyd will be competing on Otis Barbotiere owned by the Otis Barbotiere Syndicate and Remington XXV owned by Densey Juvonen; Tamra will be on Mar De Amor owned by Leigh Mesher; and Michael will be riding DV8 owned by Carl Bouckaert and Nathalie and Michael Pollard. Three of these combinations will represent the US in the Nations Cup.

 

Congratulations to Boyd Martin, Sinead Halpin, Tiana Coudray, Will Faudree, Clark Montgomery and Phillip Dutton who have all been awarded Land Rover Performance Grants based on their results at Burghley and Badminton.
