Lexington, KY— Don’t miss your chance to vote for your “Favorite USEF Breed Competition.” The idea behind this contest is to award and promote the USEF licensed breed competitions for their efforts in running a show so well that exhibitors want to call it their favorite. Also, this contest gives exhibitors the opportunity to provide positive feedback about the competitions to the USEF.

The competition rules include that you must be a USEF member to vote and you must have participated in the 2009 USEF competition you are voting for as an official, trainer, rider/driver, handler or owner. Also, you may only vote once at https://www.usef.org/_AUAIFrames/FavoriteBreed/default.aspx or you can find the link on the top right of any of the breed home pages at www.usef.org to vote as well.

USEF Recognized Breed competitions will have a chance to win their respective breed category (11 total breed categories). All of the winning competitions will be announced at the 2010 USEF Annual meeting. From these competitions, two will be selected from a random drawing to win Grand Prize and Runner-Up.

Each breed competition that wins as a “Favorite USEF Breed Competition of 2009” will receive a framed certificate (or plaque). The Grand Prize winner will receive a pizza party for their exhibitors at the 2010 competition. The Runner-Up will receive an ice cream party for the exhibitors at the 2010 competition.

In order to be eligible to claim their prize, the competitions must remain USEF licensed for 2010.
