AHA of Indiana is initiating a high point program to recognize members who get out and show their Arabian and Arabian crosses at events, enabling the public to see what  Arabians can do and encourage friendly competition within our club.

To be eligible, you must meet the following criteria:

·    Be a member of AHA of Indiana (you don’t need to be a voting member; ie member of Arabian Horse Association)

·    Earn a minimum of 35 points in the division(s) in which you nominated. Each division requires a 35 point minimum.

·    Ride or show an Arabian or Half Arabian horse for your points to count in this program.

·    Pay the nomination fee of $10.00 for each division entered.

·    Submit all points to the High Point Secretary within 30 days of the show on the form supplied. Points can be mailed or emailed. Points emailed will get a confirmation of receipt.  Points not submitted within 30 days WILL NOT COUNT. Point reporting is the Exhibitor’s responsibility.

The program will be run as follows:

·    January 1^st to October 31^st of the year, with all points being due by November 10^th.

·    If entries warrant, we can split classes further in future years.

·    To receive points, you must be placed in the class. See attached point chart for specific numbers. It does not matter how many are in the class. The points are the same whether you win a 1 horse class or a 10 horse class. Championship class points are doubled. See point chart for all class types.

·    Donations are always appreciated, and all money from entries in the program will be used for that year’s prizes.

·    Everyone getting the minimum number of points will get something.

·    High point standing will be listed on the AHA website and updated on a regular basis.

Divisions:

1.  Halter (‘Main Ring’ halter, Sport Horse In-Hand)

2.  English (English, Country, Hunter Pleasure, Sport Horse Under Saddle, Dressage, Hunter over Fences, etc)
