Walkabout Station Journey Award

The Walkabout Station Journey Award was developed by Jan and Gary Marquardt of Walkabout Station to encourage riders to take their partners on the “horsemanship” journey. They want to encourage and recognize riders committed to long-term, competitive partnerships with their horses and celebrate their journey moving up the levels. Knowing and respecting your horse should always be the top priority.

Owner/riders must submit the awards application form below and upload the qualified scores to the AHS office by November 30th of the award year to be eligible. Scores from 2015 shows and forward qualify. Musical Freestyle scores do not qualify.
