The first step involves selecting candidates by asking their peers to nominate the most inspirational Equineflow Practitioners. Next the nominees are presented to all EquineFlowers. In the final stage, all EquineFlow Practitioners cast their votes for the individual they believe best aligns with the criteria for the annual Excellence Awards.
