If a horse is sold during the show season, the points remain with the horse provided the new owners become members at the time of sale. Also required is a copy (front and back) of the horse’s registration papers.
Eligibility is gained by membership and maintained through sportsmanship. The Year End Awards Committee is empowered to investigate any and all acts of unsportsmanlike conduct and take whatever degree of disciplinary action deemed necessary, which may include the loss of eligibility to participate in the Year End Awards Program. Committee action is subject to the rules as defined in Section II-G 3 of the NEWApHC by-laws. Any grievances or protests must be submitted in writing, giving the conditions, reasons, and show bill. This must be submitted to the point keeper no more than 14 days from the last approved show season.
To be eligible for a NEWApHC year end award, at least 1 point must be gained in the area of approved show competition.
