Zone Finals – Each Zone can offer a year end final for divisions they choose, and Zone committees have come up with what they feel suits the riders in that area. No additional fees required, invitations sent out to compete at a designated Zone show. I can only say check with your Zone committee for details. If there is a Facebook page, like it. Maybe more info will come through in the future via social media…
Virginia Championships – Several divisions offered, may only qualify at Virginia Horse Shows, outstanding prize money is awarded despite the steep $250 division fee. However, every cent is put into the Final, the exhibitors being the only beneficiaries, and it is held directly before the Lexington National Horse Show in Lexington, Virginia in early August. 2015 was inaugural year, and very successful.
Enrollment $250 per division, apply here: http://www.vahunterchamps.com/ or also here you can print an application: http://deeprunhorseshow.com/va_hunter.html
Stirrup Cup Final – Owner, rider, trainer, and horse must be an Active or Life Member of the USEF, and USHJA, qualifying points are distributed only at Regional I (B) and Regional II (C) shows. Minimum 3 shows to be eligible for an award, and each Zone will offer it’s own Final, so you need to stay tuned to your Zone news.

Ariat Adult Medal and THIS Childrens Medal are both held at the Capital Challenge Horse Show outside of D.C. in October. This is a national medal, and there are no additional fees other than the cost of the class. A predetermined amount (probably top 30) are invited to compete in the final.
