Awards Programs
Lots of awards! The Cadora-Ontario AGM is the place to be if you've won an award! Each year at this event, Cadora-Ontario presents awards to its Year-End winners, Cadora-Ontario Challenge winners, Cadora-Ontario Riding Scholarship winners, Silver Dressage Champions, and the Bronze Competitor winners. Because our award 'base" is quite extensive, it's always a pleasure to welcome as many award winners as possible to our meeting. PLEASE NOTE: To be eligible for a Cadora-Ontario award, you MUST be a member of Cadora-Ontario no later than June 1st of the current year.
If you've won an award, you will be contacted and invited to attend the AGM to accept the award personally, or you can designate someone to accept on your behalf. "Smiles" and "Congratulations" are, of course, awarded to everyone!

1st and 2nd placings are awarded in each class level and category, with additional placings, up to a maximum of eight, based on the number of eligible competitors at each level. Five eligible competitors are required for each additional award. An eligible competitor is a Cadora-Ontario member who has competed in a minimum of three competitions.
Award winners are decided by totalling the three highest scores received by each horse/rider combination in Silver dressage competitions during the season, excluding the championships. A minimum score of 55% must be achieved for a competitor to be eligible to receive an award
There are several programmes that Cadora-Ontario administers. Results are tracked by the Silver Co-ordinator, and winners are notified (via the Cadora-Ontario newsletter) prior to the AGM every year.
