Pilmer Plate

The Pilmer Plate was donated by NZHS for R.S. Pilmer and is awarded to a member who, throughout his or her career, has exemplified the highest ideals of good sportsmanship, through commitment, dedication and the pursuit of excellence as a horseperson and in service to Equestrian Sports NZ.

Presented as the Patron’s Award and traditionally awarded at the Annual General Assembly.  From 1962-1995 the Plimer Plate was presented for puissance competition at the Horse of the Year show.
