HI-POINT AWARDS PROGRAM
At the beginning of each calendar year, the
incoming T.W.H.A.C. Board of Directors will review all
existing policies and practices relevant to T.W.H.A.C.
Points and the Year End Awards for the upcoming show year.
Any changes approved by the Board will take effect
immediately.
1.
POINTS
ELIGIBILITY:
In order to earn points toward T.W.H.A.C. Year-End
Awards you must:
A.) Be a current member in good standing of
T.W.H.A.C., with all dues and other fees paid in full.
B.) You must register your horse(s) with the
Association on appropriate forms.
C.) Horse must show and be judged in at least one
class at three different shows pointed by T.W.H.A.C. (Weanlings and yearlings qualify for points by only showing
in two different shows pointed by T.W.H.A.C.)
D.) As an eligible T.W.H.A.C. member you may
nominate your horse(s) at any time during the year but
points will be counted only from the time of nomination. In
the interest of those who do nominate their horses in a
timely manner, there will be no retroactive points awarded.
2.
OWNERSHIP:
A.) The registered owner (or other person holding
bonafide leasing rights) shall, in all cases, be considered
the "owner" of the horse for T.W.H.A.C. Point
purposes.
B.) In cases of joint ownership (ownership of a
horse by a barn and/or other entity), nomination shall be
valid for purposes of accruing points, if, upon nomination,
at least one member of the partnership or other entity is a
member in good standing with T.W.H.A.C. at the time
nomination is made and fees are paid.
C.) Once a horse has been nominated for T.W.H.A.C.
Points, the nomination shall be valid for the entire show
year without regard to changes in ownership (including
additions or deletion of partners in the case of joint
ownership, cancellation of lease agreements, etc.). If a
change in ownership occurs during the show year, no new
nomination fees will be required, however, the new owner
must also be a T.W.H.A.C. member is good standing to
accumulate any additional points.
D.) All Year-End Hi-Point Awards will name the last
owners of record, effective the last time the affected horse
was shown at a T.W.H.A.C.-Pointed show.
E.) The accumulated points earned will be carried
forward with the horse, provided that the new owner
qualifies under the ownership criteria listed in PP 1-3
above. Points will be carried forward only in the divisions
in which they were earned and are not transferable to any
other division.
3.
CHANGING
DIVISIONS:
A.) Within the T.W.H.A.C. Show Year, a horse may
change from one performance division to another one time
only and may not change back, without forfeiture of all
points earned prior to the date of changing back.
B.) Exception: When a bonafide change in ownership
occurs, a new owner (as qualified under the provisions of
"Ownership" PP 1-3 above) is allowed to make a
division change regardless of previous changes in the same
year and all points will be carried forward without penalty.
C.) In any case, all points will remain on account
in the divisions in which they were earned and are not
transferable to any other performance division.
D.) It is the responsibility of the owner to notify
T.W.H.A.C. of any performance division or ownership change
to assure proper point distribution.
