AHHS Youth Medallion Series

Open to junior exhibitors under 18 years of age in the Pleasure Driving Pony/Horse, Roadster Pony, Roadster Under Saddle, Pleasure Pony/Horse Under Saddle, Youth Hackney/Harness Combination, Country Pleasure Driving, Pleasure Driving Pony/Horse (Reinsmanship), and Showmanship In-Hand Pony/Horse divisions. By qualifying in local medallion classes, a combination of junior exhibitor and pony may compete in the National Medallion Championship Finals vying for the national title in each division, and scholarship awards. This program encourages youth involvement with Hackneys as they are acquiring show ring skills, developing friendships and competing for the prestigious title of Youth Medallion National Finalist. A special medallion is awarded to winners of local medallion classes and certificates of qualification are sent to each entry. The National Final will provide special gifts and events for all participants along with national recognition. 1995 brought the addition of two new divisions, the roadster pony under saddle and Hackney/Harness combination class. Now the pony that is shown in the Ladies or Amateur division can also compete with the youth, encouraging family participation.

For listings of shows offering the classes or information on adding a class to any horse show please contact the AHHS office. The National Medallion Championship Finals is held at the UPHA/American Royal Horse Show in Kansas City, Missouri.
