2009 EASTERN IDAHO PAINT HORSE CLUB RULES
TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR YEAR-END AWARDS:

The exhibitors and owners must be current members of E.I.P.H.C. This means if you are a youth showing a horse that is owned by your parents, you must purchase a family membership. The horse and/or exhibitor must participate in 1- E.I.P.H.C. sponsored open all-breed show and 2- E.I.P.H.C.sponsored registered point shows, under two different judges, on two different dates. Points do not start to accumulate until you have paid for the current year’s membership, and your horses' papers have been submitted.

SUBMIT A COPY OF YOUR HORSES' PAPERS TO:
EIPHC P.O. Box1247
Blackfoot, Idaho 83221.

NO PAPERS, NO POINTS! You must also accumulate at least 6 POINTS in any one class to be eligible to receive a year-end award for that class. If you are showing weanlings, your breeder’s certificate or regular registry papers must be in hand before any points will count and the “regular registry papers” must be in hand by September 1st of the show year to be given an award for your weanling.
You must show in one E.I.P.H.C. sponsored open show in your respective class if you are trying for an award in that class. For example, if you are winning a year-end award in junior trail, you must show in the junior trail class in one E.I.P.H.C. sponsored open show.

High point paint year-end awards will be given to the Youth Walk/Trot 11 & Under, Youth 13 & Under, Youth 14 to 18, Novice Amateur, Amateur, All-Around Junior Horse and All-Around Senior Horse (exclusive of Youth, Novice Amateur and Amateur). For youth, amateur, junior and senior high point awards, the horse must be shown in its respective halter class (i.e., open, youth or amateur) and three riding classes to qualify for any high point award. You must also show in one E.I.P.H.C. sponsored open show in your horses' respective halter class (i.e., open, youth or amateur) and three riding classes to qualify for any high point award. If youth and amateur halter classes are not offered, then the horse must be shown in its respective open halter class. We will follow rules from the APHA handbook regarding ownership of youth and amateur horses, to be eligible to receive year-end awards.

To qualify for novice amateur high point, the horse must be shown in novice amateur showmanship and three novice amateur performance classes. Novice amateur classes are available at APHA pointed shows and EIPHC open shows. Again, you must show in one E.I.P.H.C. sponsored open show in novice amateur showmanship and three novice amateur performance classes in order to qualify for novice amateur high point. Only the results at E.I.P.H.C. approved shows will count towards the high point award. We will follow rules from the APHA handbook regarding ownership of novice horses to be eligible to receive year-end awards.

Due to lack of participation, EIPHC will no longer give non-paint year end awards.

Exhibitors can accumulate points in each division, for HIGH POINT year-end awards, such as youth, open, novice amateur or amateur.

Youth: All classes identified as “youth” will count towards the “Walk-Trot,” “13 & Under” or “14 to 18” youth high point year-end award, depending on the age of the competitor.
