  • Eastern Competitive Trail Ride Association​, 
  • Equine Distance Riding Association.


Radautzer Award:

In order to celebrate the outstanding achievements of horses with Shagya-Arabian blood, the NASS has created the "Radautzer Award" for NASS-registered horses competing in AERC rides. Named after the horses from the famous Austrian military stud farm of Radautz (located in present-day Romania) a horse with exceptional courage and stamina in Europe received the highest praise if described as “tough as a Radautzer”. 

Meritorious Dam & Sire:

Awards are open to any horse registered with NASS which has sired or produced offspring as long as the Horse's owner remains a member in good standing. Points are figured when a horse enters the program and at the end of each year thereafter. The registered Dam or Sire will receive 10% of the LIFETIME points of all registered offspring initially, and will then receive 10% of the yearly point accumulation earned by each son or daughter. Once the owner enters a horse in this program, points will be awarded automatically each year. A horse is eligible to receive a posthumous award only in the year it dies, but will continue to accumulate points resuming from any of its offspring. Point totals will be updated annually in the Dam and Sire Roll.

United States Dressage Federation All-Breeds Awards:

Designed to recognize the accomplishments of specific breeds in dressage and outstanding breeds competing in dressage sport horse breeding, these awards are presented to horses declared for a participating registry/organization (PO) with the United States Dressage Federation (USDF). 

NASS Annual Performance Awards Participants Please Note:

The LAST DAY of NOVEMBER is the LAST DAY of Competition Year.


ALL ANNUAL RESULTS must be turned in ON or BEFORE December 14th to the NASS Annual Performance Awards Chair.
