2022 USEA Hanoverian Eventing Awards Winners

The Brooklea Farm Horse of the Year Award for Eventing.

A very generous member and supporter of the sport approached us about sponsoring an award for the Overall Eventing Horse of the Year, for our AHS members who compete in the sport of Eventing.

Beginning in 2019, after we determine our Champions and Reserve Champions at the seven levels of Eventing, we use a “difficulty factor”, determine our Evening Horse of the Year. The champion at each successive level going up from Beginner Novice through Advanced will be assigned a percentage factor that reflects the increasing difficulty of the levels in the sport. The horse with the most points after the difficulty factor has been added will be named the Eventing Horse of the Year.

Each year, the owner of the winning horse will receive a beautiful etched trophy to keep; and their horse’s name and breed information will go on a plate each year on the Brooklea Farm Eventing Horse of the Year Perpetual Plaque that will be hung in our national office in Kentucky.

2022 Overall Champion: DANITO (Dancier-Wie Musik/Wolkenstein II)
owner: Ruth Bley   breeder:  Herbert Schuett   rider: Tamra Smith
