The Dressage Foundation’s Patsy Albers Award, created by Patsy’s friends and colleagues after she passed away in 2012, is given annually to the highest placing dressage rider at the USEF High Performance Championships (Intermediare I or Grand Prix), who was also a rider competing for the United States at a North American Junior/Young Rider Championship. Preference is given to those competing at Grand Prix.
The $1,000 award will provide financial support for the recipient’s continuing education and training.
Patsy Albers was a longtime supporter and Chef d’Equipe of the NAJYRC Region 1 team. She also served for many years as the FEI Event Director at Dressage at Devon. Her expertise extended into management, officiating, and volunteering, for which she was honored multiple times.
“Patsy was a Region 1 delegate for as long as I can remember,” said Janine Malone, a close friend of Patsy’s who established the Award at TDF. “I knew she would want to support riders who had come up through the ranks, competing at the NAJYRC and going on to the Festival of Champions.”

12. Awards Ceremonies: Awards will be scheduled immediately following each class or during the lunch
break. Riders are to be FORMALLY ATTIRED AND MOUNTED for all award ceremonies. Permission
for horse to be excused from the awards ceremony for safety reasons may be granted by the Judge at
“C” or the President of the Ground Jury.
13. Health Requirements: The state of NJ Health Dept. requires a Negative Coggins within 12 months &
Health Certificate within 30 days of the competition.
1. Lexington, Ky. - In January, the USEF Board of Directors approved an addition to the rule book,
which outlines equine vaccination requirements at licensed competitions. Beginning December 1,
2015, all horses entering the grounds of a Federation-licensed competition must be accompanied by
documentation of Equine Influenza Virus and Equine Herpes Virus (Rhinopneumonitis) vaccinations
within six months prior to entering the stables. This is mandatory for every horse entry. See Rule
GR845.
Statement of Health must be signed by a licensed veterinarian within 7 days of arrival at USET
Foundation Headquarters for each competition and must be available upon request by either security
or the show office.
2. At Federation licensed competitions horses, more than 7 months of age, entering the grounds must be
accompanied by documentation of Equine Influenza Virus and Equine Herpes Virus
(Rhinopneumonitis) vaccinations within six months prior to entering the stables. Horses not in
compliance with this rule may be required to leave the competition grounds upon request by
Competition Management. Check with your veterinarian about which vaccine you use. For more
information, please review USEF Rule, Chapter 8, GR845.
3. A current negative EIA (coggins) test.
4. Current vaccination against WNV, EEE, WEE, Tetanus and Rabies is strongly recommended.
5. It is required that all riders document (in writing) their horses temperatures for 72 hours prior to
arrival at the USET Foundation. Please do NOT ship horses with elevated temperatures. While you
are on-site for the duration of the event, you will be required to keep a written temperature log (no less
than 2xs daily). Temperature logs may be requested at any time by Competition Management or
Technical Delegate per USEF RULE, Chapter 8, GR845.4. In the case of an elevated
temperature, please immediately inform Treating Veterinarian, Dr. Meg Mullin (908) 581-0008. If
the need arises isolation stalls will be available at a local veterinary practice.
6. Every effort should be made to minimize stress and commingling of horses shipped long distances.
Extra hours on a horse van, or moving from stable to stable is the fastest way to compromise your
horses and your neighbor’s horses’ health.
7. Any horse on the show grounds with a fever of unknown origin or of suspicious origin must be
reported to USET Foundation. It is always better to err on the side of safety. Isolation stalls will
either be available on the grounds or at a local veterinary practice if the need arises.
14. Entries: ILLEGIBLE OR INCOMPLETE ENTRIES will be considered INVALID and returned. If the
check or the Coggins Test is missing, the entry will be considered incomplete. Telephone entries are not
