Each week during Desert Circuit, junior hunter riders in eligible divisions earn points based on their top-performing horse for that week. Riders may compete on multiple horses, but only their best weekly result counts. At the end of the Circuit, weekly top scores are summed, and the rider with the highest total points is awarded the Leading Junior Hunter Rider title and award. The rider with the most points at the end of Circuit receives a saddle courtesy of Antarès Sellier. Eligible divisions include the Children’s Hunters, 3’3″ Junior Hunters and the 3’6″ Junior Hunters.
