Just a reminder that all exhibitors
and owners must be current Area 3 members in order to accumulate
points towards Area 3 year-end awards.
A note on the high point standings
- In order to qualify for a year-end high point award, a horse
must show in a minimum of 3 classes, each in at least
3 Area 3
approved shows. (For example a horse showing in Western Pleasure
at 3 circuits, Hunter Under Saddle at
3 circuits and Western
Riding at 3 circuits would qualify, whereas a horse showing in
Western Pleasure at 3 circuits, Hunter Under Saddle at 3
circuits, Western Riding at 3 circuit and Hunter Hack at 1
circuit would not qualify).

It's important to make your entries carefully... |
Area 3 Points will be based on the official recording of show
results by the show secretaries and their submission to AQHA.
Any discrepancies will be verified to the best of the show
secretaries’ ability and their final reporting will stand as the
official results.
It is imperative that exhibitors report accurately to the show
office who will be exhibiting their horse in what events. It is
the sole responsibility of the exhibitor to ensure that all
documentation and reporting is updated with the show office
if/when there is any change from their original entry form. |

• In order to accumulate points for Area 3 year-end awards, all
riders, handlers and owners must be members of the Area 3
Promotional Club and reside within the boundaries of Area 3 or
have applied in writing each year (via a completed membership
form) for membership due to an inactive club (bordering Area 3)
and have been accepted by the Board of Directors.
• Area 3 points will be accumulated at Area 3 approved shows
only. Points will be accumulated upon receipt of full membership
fees and will commence upon payment of such. In order to be
considered for a year-end or show award, the member must be in
good standing with the club (ie: no outstanding accounts.)
• Recognized owner will be the last name appearing on the
horse’s registration papers and all owners & exhibitors must be
members of Area 3 in order to accumulate points. This means that
if a family member’s name appears on the papers, they must hold
an Area 3 membership in their name (example: Horse is owned by
Sally Smith but Sally does not show, her FATHER John does – both
Sally & her Father John must be members of Area 3 in order for
John’s points to accumulate). It is the responsibility of the
owner/exhibitor to ensure they have completed all the necessary
membership requirements (with both Area 3 & AQHA) in order to
accumulate points. Please see the Area 3 membership form for
further information.
• Any member who moves out of Area 3 during the course of the
calendar year may continue to accumulate points for year-end
awards. However, the member and/or horse may be eligible for
year-end awards in only one area of Ontario. The area clubs
involved must be notified by registered mail within ten days of
moving as to which club the owner wishes to accumulate points
in.
• All members in a partnership must be members of Area 3 and
reside in Area 3 to accumulate points.
• There will be two year-end awards in each class: Champion and
Reserve Champion. Ties will not be broken. In the event of a tie
for Champion, there will be no Reserve Champion award presented
• Amateur and Youth points will be accumulated on a one
horse/one rider basis. The Amateur/Youth or their family (as per
AQHA rules) must be the last name appearing on the horse’s
registration papers. Walk-Jog/Trot, Lead Line and Small Fry
Showmanship points will be awarded to the rider and for these
classes only, the horse does not need to be owned by the
exhibitor, but must be an AQHA registered horse.
• To qualify for a year-end award, a horse must show in that
same class in at least 3 Area 3 approved shows. For the purpose
of this qualifying rule only, each circuit (whole or part of)
will count as one show (Spring Classic, Teen Ranch, Summerama &
Summer Circuit & OQHBF Fall Finale). |
