The new “Spirit of CoWN” honor will be presented to riders who exemplify our association’s culture of encouraging inclusivity, honesty, integrity, respect, sportsmanship, and family values. Is there someone always encouraging you at the gate? Cheering for everyone no matter how their own run went? Offering a helping hand to new members and making them feel welcome? This award is to recognize those individuals!

Awards will be presented in the following divisions:

  • Novice / Intermediate

  • Limited / Non-Pro / Junior non pro riders

  • Open / Level 1 Open / Junior open riders

  • Youth / Novice Youth

Members will nominate individuals and a final voting process by the membership will determine the honorees. Awards will be presented at the annual awards celebration.

Board members will also be handing out pins at the shows to those we see exemplifying the spirit of CoWN as we do recognize you for your hard work and contributions to the organization.
