Rewards Program
This program was developed to help ensure the SLADS August I & II shows have enough volunteers to run smoothly. We can’t do it without you!
Your accumulated volunteer hours will fulfill your requirement for the Year End Awards. There are several opportunities for you to volunteer.
If there are discrepancies, contact the volunteer coordinator. It will be your responsibility to ensure that you are credited for all hours worked.
How do I earn hours for 2024 Awards
Volunteers and Competitors, show season is here. Don’t forget that you need a minimum of 8 hrs of volunteer service for recognized show awards and 4 hrs of service for schooling show awards.
Shows where volunteer hours can be earned include SLADS partner shows (CW Equestrian Center, National Equestrian Center, Xanadu, Briar Bank Farm, Centerline Icebreaker) and the SLADS August Classic I&II at the National Equestrian Center. Hours earned at SLADS partner shows may be used to satisfy half the minimum hrs of volunteer service required for year end awards.
