NYSMHS High Score Awards
You have 30 DAYS to submit your form after each 2026 show!
The NYSMHS High Point Awards Program is back for another year!
A longstanding recognition program dating back to the early 1960’s, the New York State Morgan Horse Society’s High Score Awards are given out at the close of each year at our annual banquet.
Winners are the horses or exhibitors that score the highest number of points from NYSMHS approved shows, as well as other shows with USEF approved Morgan Divisions. Dressage, Promotion, Trail at Shows, Pleasure Trail and Carriage are also included with slightly different qualifications.
Our program covers many different divisions for participating members, from Park Saddle to Western Dressage, Ranch Horse, Equitation, Academy, and Walk-Trot to Leadline. We have big changes in Dressage and Western Dressage with additional categories and new criteria to reach more participants!
- For open categories, horse owner(s) must be members of NYSMHS. For Jr. Exhibitor and Equitation categories, horse owner(s) and Jr. Exhibitor must be members.
- Entries need to be post-marked by October 31st. Awards will be announced and awarded at the Year End Banquet.
Remember, points start to accumulate from the date of your membership. This means you must be a member before you start to show!
HOW IT WORKS:
- JOIN or RENEW your NYSMHS membership before the start of the competition year.
- Download the Points Form below, and submit within 30 days of each entry’s competition.
- See the complete set of rules in the NYS membership directory.
The NYSMHS High Point Awards recognize and reward the top performing registered Morgan horses and their exhibitors across various divisions at approved shows throughout the year. The program aims to promote the breed, encourage competition participation, and celebrate achievements in disciplines ranging from show riding to pleasure driving.

Congratulations to Annette Bakic
Our 2022 NYSMHS Silver Horseshoe Winner
Annette has been an active and dedicated member of the New York State Morgan Horse Society for many, many years. Since 2004, she has served as Recording Secretary and has been (and continues to be) responsible for recording the minutes of all meetings of the Board of Directors. I suspect she has been to more club meetings than any member over the last 18 years. With the changes necessitated by the COVID pandemic, Annette took on the role of maintaining the club’s Zoom account and organizing the many Zoom calls for all Board and committee meetings. As Recording Secretary, Annette has worked with six Presidents and numerous officers and directors. She has gladly worked with everyone, always with a positive “can do” attitude and with the objective of serving our club and the Morgan horse to the best of her ability.
In addition to her duties as an officer, Annette has been an active and continuous member of the Regional Show committee and Sport Horse committee. In 2019, she was instrumental in ensuring that we were able to hold the dressage and western dressage competition at the Expo Center. Using her skills as a sales representative, she took on the fight with the fairgrounds and was civil, but direct, and we got the Expo Center!
Annette has also been a longtime advocate and ambassador for the Morgan Horse in both traditional and western dressage. Starting with Hartland Vivoque and then Fortress Initial and now Twentieth Century Fox and BP Blessing “n” Honor, she has been a constant presence in the dressage ring at the Regional show, as well as open competitions and clinics.
Thank you, Annette, for everything you’ve done and continue to do for our club and the breed we all love.
