Best Performance Competition

It's A Win Win!

The program utilizes competition itself to rally support within the equestrian sport community for horse welfare.
Horse shows participate by:
• offering the EQUUS Foundation Best Performance of the Day class,
• encouraging their exhibitors to compete in the class, and
• donating the class proceeds to the EQUUS Foundation.

100% of the class proceeds are used for horse welfare.

Open to Juniors, Amateurs & Professionals in All Division in All Disciplines!

The judge will select the winner from among the competitors (junior, amateur or professional) wearing the official Best Performance Competition Armband while competing in any division at the participating competition. The winner is the judge's favorite and most memorable performance.

USEF Licensed Competitions that sign up as Best Performance Competitions, along with the class winners, are recognized by both the EQUUS Foundation and the United States Equestrian Federation.
