These breed awards are in addition to the other awards that MSHSA gives for the top four placings in every MSHSA class and the Horses of the Year awards (Hunt Horse, Saddle Seat Horse, Western Horse). Performance classes are in red but you may win MSHSA prizes if you are in the top four placings in any of the classes.
