RULES FOR DETERMINING

HIGH POINT AWARDS

Effective 2008-2009

v      To be eligible to receive High Point Awards, entrants must be members of the T.A.S.H.A.  Horses must be purebred registered American Saddlebreds (except for Academy classes).  Owner must be a member of the T.A.S.H.A. and recorded owner of the horse during the award year.

v       For each award year points from listed T.A.S.H.A. shows are summed.

v       In performance and pleasure classes, a separate point total is kept for each horse that a rider shows in a given division.  In all academy and equitation classes, a single total is kept for each rider, regardless of how many different horses he or she shows in the division.

v          Points are awarded based on the following rules:

-Classes with 6 or more entries : 1^st place receives 6 points; 2^nd receives 5; 3^rd receives 4;  4^th receives 3;  5^th receives 2 points; 6^th receives 1 point.

–Classes with 1 to 5 entries: each receives 1 point plus 1 point for each entry beaten.

                              Example:   Class with three entries 

1^st Place-- 1 Point + 2 beaten = 3

2^nd Place-- 1 Point + 1 beaten = 2

3^rd Place-- 1 Point + 0 beaten = 1

 Both qualifying classes and championships will be awarded points.  

Championship classes will earn 3 bonus points per placing along with the regular points—for example:

 6 Ribbons with 6 or More Horses in the Class

1^st Place    --    6 Points     + 3     = 9

2^nd Place   --    5 Points     + 3     = 8

3^rd Place   --    4 Points     + 3     = 7

4^th Place   --    3 Points     + 3     = 6

5^th Place   --    2 Points     + 3     = 5

6^th Place   --    1 Point       + 3     = 4

v           High Point Awards may be added for a division in which a championship class is held. Award Divisions may be determined each season, based upon participation levels.

v       A competitor must earn at least 4 points in order to receive a High Point Award.  Otherwise, no award is given for that division.

v       A Reserve High Point will be made in any division that has at least 6 horses or riders during the award year. (Membership in T.A.S.H.A. is not required for horse/rider count).   In the case of a tie for Championship, no reserve awards will be given.

v       Jr Exhibitor class points will be counted towards the respective T.A.S.H.A. Amateur/Pleasure Division. i.e.… 3 gaited jr. exhibitor counts toward TASHA 3 gaited amateur;  5 gaited pleasure jr. exhibitor counts toward TASHA 5 gaited pleasure ( for example Pin Oak Charity Horse show divisions)

v       With the exception of Academy classes, the following classes are not counted toward any High Point awards: maiden, UPHA Pleasure Medallion, model, Saddle & Bridle, gentlemen only, and any other qualifying classes in which winners are excluded from any further competition for the rest of the award year.
