'Tis the season!
Posted by RES ADMIN
The Equestrian Awards season is upon us. Whether you are looking for awards to commemorate grass roots events, one to celebrate a Grand Championship win, or one to acknowledge a year end final, we have the perfect selection which is sure to make your event one to remember.
With so many awards to choose from, it can be difficult to decide on the perfect one for your event. We have put together some suggestions to keep in mind when making your selection.
Awards and prizes should be considered as two different things. Although it can sometimes be challenging to differentiate between the two. An award is bestowed as a recognition of extraordinary achievement and is usually a type of commemorative gift, while a prize does also commemorate an achievement, it's usually something practical that the winner can use. There is no doubt that these are different from one another, but it can often be confusing which one to select and use.
Awards can be very daunting to choose from, but with a little help from Ride Every Stride Inc., it's easy to pick the perfect one for your event. Here are some of our most popular awards and some prizes that could go with them!
