Trip Harting Memorial Trophy for First Level Champion

Trip Harting is remembered as one of the leading judges in the world of dressage. Harting was honored by the USPC as a “living legend” and was admired for his support of youth equestrian education and competition. He was known for his friendliness to the competitors, always saying, "I hope you have a great ride" before each competitor entered the ring and, "Thank you very much" at the end. Trip Harting judged the IDA National Championships in 2005 at Lake Erie College, and 2006 at St. Andrews, and was one of IDA’s most prominent supporters.  Trip passed away, August 21, 2008 at the age of 62. It is in his memory that we present the Trip Harting Memorial Trophy to the First Level Individual Champion.
