This Year’s Awards

Wow!  We have some great awards this year!

We use our payback system for points.  Think of it like $1 is a point.  We pay back up to four places.  $5 from each entry goes in the pot.  Then we split it 40% – 30% – 20% – 10%.

Halter classes do not count toward high points.  Showmanship does count.  

We are awarding high points in the following in 2023. Several of the reserve high points will also have great awards!
