Sandybaar

This award honors the legacy of Harold “Sandy” Sanders and his little Arabian stallion, Sandybaar.  The
duo competed in the PNER region in the early years of the sport and their record includes over 2,500
miles without a single pull and they were a top national rider/horse combination in the mid-1970s.

Recognition is given to the explicit pairing of one rider (of any age) and one horse with a minimum of 
10 consecutive ride completions during a single ride season.  (Limited distance and/or endurance 
events are counted.)  A pull puts the count back to zero unless the rider and horse have already 
successfully completed 10 consecutive events.

Rookie Senior Rider & Horse - Sponsored by Carlene & Wally Benson

This award targets the Senior rider and horse team, both new to the sport.  The intent is to encourage completion over the long run.  Neither rider nor horse can have completed more than 100 miles of endurance and/or limited distance events combined.  The goal is to support the individual who can ride moderately, bring on a younger (or older horse) and produce a safe and consistent performance (ride completion).

The award goes to the rider and horse team with the most consecutive completions on limited distance events and a minimum of three completions is required to qualify for the award.  A pull on a limited distance event puts the count back to zero and total accumulated miles on limited distance events break any ties.

ADDITIONAL ELIGIBILITY INFORMATION:  This was previously an award requiring a nomination 
form. Since it was often overlooked, it has now been automated. If you are not in the list below, but
believe you should be, please contact points@pnet.net. The minimum completion requirement applies.
