At Patriot Farms, we take great pride in honoring not only those riders that perform well in the arena but also around the ranch. The Patriot Farms Horsemanship Trophy – a beautiful sterling, silver-cup produced in England - is awarded annually during our Christmas party to the individual that has best shown a commitment to reaching their potential by improving their knowledge in riding and horsemanship.

Displayed prominently in the Patriot Farms office for all to see, the Horsemanship Trophy is engraved each year with the winning recipient’s name. In addition to having their name forever engraved on the silver-cup, winners receive a personal trophy as a keepsake. To be eligible for the honor, you must:

• Be a horse owner
• Go to horse shows
• Always display excellent sportsmanship and horsemanship
• Have a great attitude
• Listen to your trainer
• Work hard to accomplish your goals

HELP US SELECT A WINNER! Everyone at Patriot Farms has an opportunity to assist in the selection of the Horsemanship Trophy winner. Mid-way through the year, clients are asked to submit the names of five riders they feel are most deserving of the award. All submissions are then tabulated and the top five recipients become the official nominees for that year. The winner is selected by our professional trainers, Sami Milo and Haley Winger.
