2012 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, in each respective class.
 
Points do not begin accumulating until you have paid the current year’s membership, and your horses’ papers have been submitted.

Submit a copy of your horses’ registration papers to:
EIPHC P.O. Box 1247 Blackfoot, Idaho 83221.

You must also accumulate at least 8 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 AUGUST 1ST of the show year to be given an award for your weanling.

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, All-Around Senior Horse, All-Around Green Horse and All-Around Open Horse, which could be a Paint 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 (showmanship and color classes not considered qualifying halter class, however points will count toward high point awards ) open, youth or amateur and three riding classes to qualify for any high point award. Youth and amateur halter classes are offered, and the horse must be shown in its respective 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 rulebook regarding ownership of novice horses to be eligible to receive year-end awards.

Exhibitors can accumulate points in each division, for HIGH POINT year-end awards, such as youth, green horse, open, open all breed, novice amateur or amateur. (Green horse points do not accumulate toward anything other than the HIGH POINT GREEN HORSE award.)
