PONY CLUB WA STATE DRESSAGE COMMITTEE PERFORMANCE MEDAL PROGRAM
AIM
PCWA State Dressage Committee would like to formally recognize pony club riders in WA who are achieving outstanding performances consistently throughout their competition. The PCWA Dressage Performance Medal program will acknowledge horse and rider combinations who achieve outstanding results at any given level of Dressage regardless of the number of competitions they attend.
This program is intended as an achievement program that will supplement the PCWA Leaderboard participation recognition program. It is envisaged that the Performance Medals recognition program will motivate all riders to aspire to reach a higher standard through dedication and training, and to be able to measure their own personal achievements and success.
