What is LEGIS League?
LEGIS League is an awards program for hunter, jumper, and equitation riders
competing at a variety of levels. Both USEF and non-USEF shows are encouraged
to participate in the LEGIS League. LEGIS League eligible hunter and jumper
categories may be classes already offered by SVE, however LEGIS League Medal
Classes are separate classes. LEGIS League registered riders receive points based
on results in those classes.
To qualify for the NorCal LEGIS League Finals horse/rider combinations must
accrue at least 4 points to compete. Information about points:
Points will be awarded to sixth place in the following manner: 7-5-4-3-2-1
At least three riders must compete, but points will be awarded on this scale regardless of
the number of entries in the class.
In the case of a combined class (i.e.: Children's/Adult Hunter), points will be awarded
according to the ribbon won and applied to the rider’s age group (Children’s or Adult).
Any horse shown by a LEGIS League member will accrue points.

successes of trainers and their students. We continue this program in 2018, awarding
points to trainers riding, and their students throughout our show series. The shows that
count for points are May, June, July, August, September and October. Riders must
declare a trainer when entering the show. Points will not be retroactive. At the October
Starr IV: LEGIS League Finals Halloween Special show, the Trainer of the Year will be
named and have their name placed on a perpetual trophy as well as winning an award.
