2024 Winner

2024 Crestwood Winner Chris Knox driving cart with grey horse

The Crestwood Award goes to a member who has shown “outstanding personal endeavor on the part of the Connemara pony”. In 2024 we award it to Chris Knox who occupies a special niche in the ACPS. She is a breeder, rider, driver, inspector, and Judge and past President. She is a former USEF Connemara Judge and a USEF Dressage and Eventing TD. She helped develop the USEF Connemara judges program and the HOTY Awards through the USEF, and remains our contact with the USEF for awards policies etc. She rides her homebred purebreds and halfbreds in season rounding up cattle in Idaho where she still lives. Many thanks Chris for all you have done and continue to do for the ACPS and the Connemara pony.
