criteria and guidelines

The parameters for earning points on this year’s Bronze competition circuit have been clarified:

• Riders must compete in two Bronze shows in order to be eligible for year-end titles.
• Points from Equitation classes are earned by the rider. Points for all other classes are earned by the horse, no matter who is riding.
• Only classes listed in a competition’s approved prize list that match the posted descriptors will be eligible for points. As always, shows are free to offer any classes they wish, but only those that match our document will be counted for points.
• Only classes that appear in the show's approved prize list will be counted.
