More information about Nominating for PSHA High Point Awards
Saddlebreds, Morgans, Hackneys, Friesians are all welcome!
You only need to nominate the horse OR the rider.
Which one do you nominate?
Horses should always be nominated unless you are competing in Equitation or Academy (those are divisions in which the rider is being judged not the horse). If you are an Academy rider or a show rider competing in equitation, then you must nominate the rider instead of the horse since the rider is the ones being judged. Horses are not themselves required to be nominated for their nominated riders to earn points in Equitation and Academy. If your Academy horse is ALSO showing outside of Academy, you then must nominate the horse as well to earn points outside of Academy. If you are an equitation rider that also plans to show your horse in performance classes, then you will need to nominate the horse as well as the equitation rider.
You must be a member to nominate your horse or rider to compete for High Point Awards. Both membership & nomination should be filled out by the owner, or the person leasing the horse (Lessee) for the season. All awards will go to the member who submitted the nomination for the horse.
You must be nominated before points will accumulate.
