The Volunteer of the Year award is the highest USHJA honor awarded to a volunteer. At the end of the year the President and staff review what has happened over the past 12 months. Volunteers are reviewed on: new programs, continuing programs, the direction of our sport, volunteers behind the scenes who work the long hours with a passion for bringing our sport forward and providing a safe, fair and understandable sport for our fellow equestrians. With all these factors in mind one volunteer usually stands out among the rest. The recipient of this award remains a secret until the Evening of Equestrians Awards Dinner when the award is presented.
