    Open to ODEEO MEMBERS ONLY who complete all three ODEEO rides. This challenge is to encourage and recognize all levels of effort, growth, and achievement with a horse/rider team – from rank beginner to seasoned competitor – and to emphasize the AERC endurance motto: “To Finish Is To Win”

    Rules to Remember:

    • Riders must be current annual member of the ODEEO as of the day of the first ODEEO ride. Membership is not retroactive back to prior rides of the same year.
    • The same horse and rider team must complete in at least 3 designated ODEEO rides- the No Frills, The OD June ride, and Fort Valley.

    • Riders are free to mix and match the distances.
    • Each mile ridden counts as a point.
    • No entry blank or fee is required – you just enter the rides and we’ll keep track.

    ODEEO Members who complete all three ODEEO rides will receive:
    • a TRIPLE CROWN AWARD - a certificate for $25 off an entry on one of next year's ODEEO rides.
    • a printed and frameable “Achievement Certificate” to show that you really, really did it!
    • Public recognition and enthusiastic applause to make you blush at the Awards Ceremony at the Annual Membership Christmas Party in December.
    • Your name, your horse's name, and your lofty accomplishment in miles on the ODEEO website to be recorded for all time.

    If you enter and start any one of the 3 rides, but do not finish, you will still receive a TRIPLE CROWN CREDIT just for showing sheer grit and determination!

    So… take the challenge, win some great prizes, and prove to yourself that you and your horse ARE a champion!

    The Old Dominion Trophy

    Click Here to see the OD Trophy Winners

    The Old Dominion Trophy is a 100 mile division award given at the Old Dominion 25/50/100 mile ride in June. It is presented to the horse/rider team which has demonstrated optimum performance based on its post-ride recovery and condition after completion of the 100 mile ride. The formula for determining a winner is based on a veterinary score, total elapsed time and weight carried. Equine leg protective devices are prohibited during the ride. Horses are judged the morning following the close of the 100 mile ride. You must pre-register for this award. There is no fee.

    The Old Dominion Cavalry Award

    Click here for the OD Cavalry Award winners

    The Cavalry Award is presented to the 100 mile horse and rider team which successfully completes, without assistance, the 100 mile division of Old Dominion 25/50/100 June mile ride. It is judged on best condition of the horse the following morning after the ride. Riders must declare their intention to compete for the award before the ride start. Acceptance of any type of unauthorized assistance during the ride disqualifies the team from this award. Rules and requirements for riding cavalry are posted on this website under the Ride Entry Form menu link for the June ride. There is no fee for registering.

    The "RODEEO" Team Award

    Riders of the ODEEO ("RODEEO") can form individual teams to compete for a team award in the 50 and 100 mile divisions of the Old Dominion 25/50/100 mile June ride. Teams must be comprised of 4 riders officially entered in the ride, and must be declared and registered with Ride Management prior to the start of the ride. At least 3 team members must finish the ride with a ride completion for the team to remain eligible. Award will be based upon the fastest averaged time of each team. There is no fee for registering.

    Old Dominion Equestrian Endurance Organization rides and events are privately held and are open only to registered participants and their guests, ride/event management, volunteers, and staff.
