OUTSTANDING OWNER - $5000 GRANT

This award was started by eventer Sara Kozumplik-Murphy and longtime owner Edith Rameilka and is named for her former upper level horse. It is offered annually to an outstanding owner who has had a large influence on a rider's career and made an exceptional contribution to the sport. Owners are nominated by riders and their peers and selected by the ERA of NA Awards Committee. The winner receives a Waterford Crystal award engraved with their name and year of the award, which is presented at the ERA of NA Annual Awards Reception each year at the USEA Convention. The award winner also receives a $5,000 prize money grant that is donated in the winner's name to a ERA of NA associated event of their choice.
