UPDATES FOR 2019

• NEW Walk Trot is now split between Main Ring and Sport Horse.

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.
