About Ernie

Trainer of the Year

PURPOSE: 
• To encourage trainers and their students to participate in CDCTA clinics, symposiums and shows. 
• To recognize trainers who support CDCTA activities and who encourage others to do so. ​

PROCESS: 
• A space to identify a rider’s trainer will be added to all CDCTA clinic, symposium and show entry forms. 
• Points will be tracked by a CDCTA official and tallied for the annual awards ceremony. 
• The trainer with the highest number of students who have participated in CDCTA clinics, symposiums and shows will win the CDCTA Trainer of the Year Award. 
• One point will be earned by the trainer each time their student participates with a horse in a CDCTA clinic, symposiums or show (the number of classes entered or number of times ridden is irrelevant.)
• One point will also be earned for every person that volunteers with any CDCTA activity.

AWARD: The award will be a $100 check to the trainer. 
​
ELIGIBILITY: 
• The trainer must be a current CDCTA member at the time his/her students participate in the show/clinic/symposium in order for the points to count towards their overall tally. 
• The trainer’s students will earn one point regardless of the student being a CDCTA member or not. ​​​
