Louisville, KY- Saturday, January 19 2013 - The United States Equestrian Federations (USEF) said it best, when they said, “Earning the Title of “Champion Doesn’t Come Easy. It not only takes countless hours of dedication and determination, it takes a special spirit.”  A USEF Champion is an honor that will last a lifetime.

The Norman K. Dunn Trophy is presented to the equestrian competing and excelling at halter or in-hand.  Notably a true horseman, Bruce Griffin has won numerous national awards in a multitude of disciplines with a myriad of breeds, but he is a shining star when it comes to sport horse in-hand and halter.

In 2012, Griffin added to his legacy by earning many top finishes with acclaimed Friesians in halter and in-hand classes.  He was awarded five World Championships and two Reserve World Championships, three National Championships and two Reserve National Championships at the IFSHA National and World Championship Show. Additionally, he collected Regional Championships at the IFHSA Region 2 Championships, along with scores of other honors in the KWPN industry.

Bruce’s list of accolades is really a Who’s Who in the Equestrian industry. In 2012, Griffin Sport Horses claimed countless titles for pleased owners with a wide range of breeds and has a large following in the Warmblood industry and has tackled and scored big wins at prestigious shows around the country.

For his achievements this year Bruce is the proud recipient of the prestigious Norman K. Dunn award.
