Show Seasons begin in the Fall and end in the Summer of following year
Membership Requirements for Year-end Points
Points for Year-end Awards and Youth World qualifying begin to accumulate at the time dues are paid. This applies to year-end points and youth world show qualifying.
Points will not count toward the Open division Arkansas Quarter Horse Association Year-End Awards unless Horse Owner is a current member of the ArQHA. If a horse is owned by a farm, business, or joint AQHA membership, an individual membership must be purchased under the name of the farm, business, or joint AQHA membership for points to count in the OPEN division. This applies even if the individual owners of the farm, business, or joint membership have already joined ArQHA.
Youth memberships allow points to count only in the Youth division. A separate individual or family membership is required for points to count in Open events.
How are Year-end Points Calculated?
Qualifications to be eligible for year-end awards are:
- All divisions/classes offered to at least half the judges for the year count towards year-end awards.
- You must have shown to at least half of the show season judges in any event or division.
- You must have at least 10 points in that class.
- You must be in the Top 9 of that class.
If these qualifications are met, points for your classes are totaled. This is done for all qualified exhibitors/horses (for Youth and Amateur) and owners/horses (for Open) and sorted in numerical order. The top 20% are in Tier 1, the next 30% are in Tier 2, and the remaining 50% are in Tier 3.
Any name highlighted in yellow on the final point sheets is counted into the year-end award total for that person.
