Trakehners excel in many disciplines.  We want to promote and reward TA member owner/rider/breeder/trainers by recognising achievement in each discipline.  

The 2023-24 Leaderboard will be for competition results in the from 1 January 2023 until 30 June 2024.  This 18 month period is a “once off” to change over to match the membership year, but we did not want participants to miss out on 1 January to 30 June 23 results counting.
