There must be 4 riders in a division (all 3 classes) for Championships to be awarded at a show. Points do count for year end awards whether Championships are awarded or not. A Horse/Rider combination may only compete in 2 consecutive levels for points and ribbons. If you wish to enter a Third level only the highest 2 will count for year end awards.

​

POINTS
Points will be award as follows:

7 points for first place

5 points for second place

4 points to a third place

3 points for a fourth place

2 points for a fifth place

1 point for a sixth place

 

Ties will be broken by the most points accumulated over fences. Points are awarded in every class, even if there are 4 riders or less.

 

Warm Up Class—Each rider may jump only 8 fences. There is a maximum time limit of 2 minutes.

 

Every horse on grounds must have a number at all times, including non competing horses.

 

We will follow OHJA rules. They can be found at ohja.net/downloads

 

Year end awards are based on the accumulation of points throughout the season within the same division. Points will automatically be collected and tabulated for every show per the point schedule listed above.

 

For Hunter divisions, the same horse and rider combination must compete to accumulate points. In the Equitation divisions, the points follow the rider, competing on any horse. Riders must attend a minimum of 4 Hunter shows. Attendance will only count and year end points awarded if the rider competes in all 3 classes of their selected division (or in both classes for Jumpers).

 

In Equitation divisions, a rider may only accumulate year end points on 1 horse per division shown, and that horse must be ridden in all 3 classes within the division.

​

Note: Except as noted below, riders may compete at any show at any level (though we do encourage showing HC as appropriate -- for comments/score only but not included in placings).  However, winning year end awards in any division is restricted as follows:

• For Hunter, same horse/rider pair is ineligible to win a division championship in consecutive years.  This rule is waived for the Intermediate Hunter division. 

• For Equitation, riders are ineligible on any horse to win a division championship in consecutive years, though they may compete and place otherwise.  

• Jumpers who win year end championship must move up a level within the Jumpers to be eligible for the next consecutive year's awards. For riders who ride in the Intermediate Jumper division (only), this rule is waived. 

• Professional riders are not eligible for year end awards in the Ground Poles Hunter division or any Equitation division.  They may ride at the show level in Ground Poles Hunter classes.  Any professional rider wishing to ride in Equitation classes must enter HC.
