UPDATES FOR 2019

• NEW Walk Trot is now split between Main Ring and Sport Horse.
  
  
• Due to weather leading to show cancelations we are changing the minimum requirements for this year only. 
  For 2019 you will only need to show at 2 shows in order to have your points count. For In Hand and Halter the requirement is 1 show.
  
  
• Volunteer time will be counted in its own category.  Make sure to check out the Volunteer Form. Click here to view/download
  

The rules are simple: Award points are based on one horse/one rider combination. You or your horse must show at a minimum of three Region 5 shows (doubled judged shows only count as one show, though both judges places are counted). This can be three local shows or two local shows and regionals. Regional pre shows also count. There is not a maximum number of shows you can attend.
