Congratulations is in order!
It is a great pleasure to be able to share the recent announcements of success for several SN Chapter members. Recently USDF released the list of the newest USEF licensed "r" judges and we are so pleased to recognize SN Chapter member Sarah Silva is now a licensed "r" judge! It takes an enormous amount of time, commitment, and money to take on the challenge to become a dressage judge and we'd like to congratulate and recognize Sarah for this accomplishment!
The USDF Preliminary results for their annual national award recognitions are complete.
It is a season-long commitment to meet the requirements to be on this list and that alone deserves recognition. Top finishes are noted. I apologize if I missed a chapter member. Please let me know your results and I'll publish them.
Think you'd like to be on this list for 2026? Requirements to qualify can be found here: https://www.usdf.org/awards/performance/year-end.asp
