OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT AWARD FOR AMERICAN ENDURANCE RIDERS COUNCIL (AERC)

• In order to celebrate the outstanding achievements of horses with Shagya-Arabian blood, the North American Shagya-Arabian Society (NASS) has created the "Radautzer Award" for NASS registered horses competing in AERC rides. The inaugural award will be given for 2011, coinciding with NASS’ twenty-fifth anniversary.

• Named after the horses from the famous Austrian military stud farm of Radautz (located in present-day Romania) a horse with exceptional courage and stamina in Europe received the highest praise if described as “tough as a Radautzer”.

• Recognition will be given annually to the horse who achieves the highest number of points within that competition year according to the scoring system (see Radautzer Awards Points Calculation Table form below). Eligible horses must be registered with NASS and the owner of record must be a NASS member in good standing at the time the nomination form is submitted.
