Awards Program

Become eligible to receive the fabulous awards and extra recognition you and your NorthAmerican Sportponies deserve!

The NorthAmerican Sportpony Registry (NASPR) has the ONLY diverse award program for Sportponies in North America. The Registry recognizes its NorthAmerican Sportpony accomplishments in Dressage, Jumping, Eventing, and Driving. It also offers awards to its NorthAmerican Sportponies who are competing in the largest segment of the American horse show circuit – Hunters.

In addition to having created a formal Hunter Breeding Program, the NASPR is the pioneer among registries to encourage the accomplishments of our American ponies the North American Hunter divisions. The NASPR initiated the largest and most extensive Hunter Awards Program and has been steadily expanding it.

To participate in the NASPR Awards program the pony must be registered with the NASPR and the owner/rider must be a member in good standing. A pony may be nominated in multiple divisions/levels with a nomination fee of $50.00 for each level/division (such as Breeding Dressage; Hunter – Large Green; Jumper, Eventer, Dressage – Trg, 1st, 2nd, PSG, etc., and Driving – Prel. Pairs, Interm. I; etc. etc.).

Complete and return the NASPR Awards Program Enrollment  form with enrollment fees to the Registry Office. Only show results obtained after nominations have been recorded in our office will be counted. It is the owner’s responsibility to send show results to the NASPR office by the end of October of each competition year. The awards to recognize the accomplishments of our NorthAmerican Sportponies are coolers, saddle pads, jackets, and more!

It is the Owners’ responsibility to verify their placings by Associations’ proper deadlines and forward all results to the Appropriate NASPR Officials before the submission deadline (which is the end of the resp. show season – October 31.). Please also consult the  Score Submission Requirements for Awards for details.
