2003 MDA Awards of Excellence

Magnetic Top CopyWTR Chocolate BarThere were more than three dozen entries for the 2003 annual Morgan Dressage Association Awards of Excellence program, with submissions from training through Intermediare I. Awards were given to registered Morgans who achieved the five highest averages from two scores at each level in United States Dressage Federation recognized competitions during the competition year (Nov. 1 through Oct. 31). At least one of the scores submitted must have been from the highest test of the level. The top horse in each level (Open, Adult Amateur and Junior/Young Rider) received a special award. The top five received a certificate honoring their achievement. Congratulations to all of the winners!
