NEW FOR 2010

All horse owners & riders must be members of UCHWA for high points to count. All points will be awarded to horse and will stay with horse if sold. If sold to non- member, last owner in good standing will receive points.

To fully participate in the point system for the full year, membership must be paid prior the first point show. Members who join after the first point show will only be eligible to acquire points during the period that they are a UCWHA member in good standing and with fully paid dues.

Memberships are good for one calendar year. Memberships may be held by family or individual. A family membership is defined as a husband, wife and any children (does not include grandchildren) who are under age of 18 on January 1 of the current year. Any family member who turns 18 as of January 1 must have a separate membership.

Points are awarded based on number of ribbons given at each show. For example, at a 5 ribbon show, the first place horse will receive 5 points, second place horse 4 points, etc. At an 8 ribbon show, the first place will receive 8 points, second place horse 7 points, etc. No points can be switched from one class to another. Classes that are added the day of show and not on show bill will not be counted. Only classes from a UCWHA affiliated horse show will count. Horse Industry Organization (HIO) records will be the official record used for counting points.

High Point Awards are given out to first and second place horses in each category at the annual Awards Banquet.

Board of directors will have final ruling on any changes.
