Award program for non-competitive drivers
The Drive On! program is open to all Hub Club members, whether you show or not! If you drive your equine for pleasure, you can accrue driving hours to receive awards. Submissions are due by December 1.
You must be a member of the Hub Club, and you must pay a one-time individual lifetime recording fee of $20. This one-time fee is per member (not per equine). If multiple members in a Family Membership participate in the Drive On! program, the fee applies to each participating member.
The recording fee and the hours accrued are per member – not equine! As long as you own or lease the horse you drive, you can record your driving hours!
Keep track of your hours on the HUB Club Drive ON! log sheet or the ADS Hours to Drive log sheet. Submit them to the person on the HUB Club Drive On! sheet by December 1st of each calendar year AND to the American Driving Society’s Hours to Drive program when appropriate.
What Hours Count?
Hours spent driving your equine (equine must be owned or leased by enrolled member) in a recreational setting can be counted towards Drive On! goals. This includes time spent on trail drives, in the arena practicing, taking a lesson, or out on the road! It even includes time spent ground driving your equine.
Time spent grooming, warming up on showgrounds before a show, showing, or on competitive drives does NOT count towards your recreational driving hours.
Awards:
New in 2023-2024, each member who submits a log sheet by December 1st will be recognized at the Annual Meeting in January. There is no longer any requirement to meet certain milestones in order to receive an award.
Hours accrue throughout a calendar year and roll over for the member’s lifetime!
Guidelines:
- Horses must be owned or leased by the participating HUB Club Member.
- Drivers must be members of the HUB Club for each year hours are logged.
- A one-time $20 enrollment fee is required for all participating members.
- The equine’s name(s) must be included on the log sheet.
- Hours accrued roll over for the lifetime of the driver.
- More than one equine may be driven for overall hours, so long as those equines are owned or leased by a participating member.
- Awards are presented at the Annual Meeting in January.
