Region X Achievement Awards

Qualifications for Region X Achievement Awards
Updated March 21, 2015

The purpose of the Region X Superior Achievement Awards it to recognize horses in our region which have consistently done well at a variety of shows. You may submit no more than 5 cards from one show date.

Only cards labeled as “Region X Qualifier” will qualify for this program. Cards from other awards programs (i.e. NAN cards) are not accepted. Cards are earned for the first and second place finishers in the Open classes in four (4) divisions:

• Green cards (B) are for Breed classes
• Yellow cards (N) are for Workmanship or Collectability classes
• Pink cards (P) are for Performance classes
• Blue cards (*) are awarded only at The Region X Championships in the Stakes classes. Cards will be handed out to all champion and reserve champion horses. If there are over 10 horses in the Stakes Class cards will also be awarded to the remaining Top Five horses. These cards are considered "wild" cards, and you can use this as an extra card toward the division they won it in toward awards. For example, if you would like to apply for a SA in Halter and currently have 4 breed cards and 5 workmanship cards and won a blue card for workmanship at TRXC you could apply that toward your 6th workmanship card and receive your award. If you currently have 4 cards in harness cones, 3 in harness dressage, and 2 in harness marathon, and you earn a blue card in the Harness division you can apply it toward marathon and the SAE in Combined Driving.

Superior Achievement in Class (SAC) = 10 cards in one class. For example: AR Morgan Breed, Cross Country, OF Plastic Appy Collectability, OR Therapeutic Riding

Superior Achievement in Event = 10 cards with at least one (1) from each class as noted for the appropriate event (i.e. Hunter = 5 huntseat pleasure, 4 over fences, 1 english trail):

You may build upon your previous awards once you have received at least five (5) additional cards in the appropriate event. Requiring five (5) additional ones confirms the horse is a consistent show horse. So if you have submitted for your SA Halter in AR Morgan with four (4) breed cards and six (6) workmanship cards, and you earn five (5) more workmanship cards you can then apply for your SA Class – Morgan Workmanship.

Another example, you received your SAP with five (5) huntseat pleasure cards, three (3) dressage, and two (2) trail. Your horse then goes on to earn three (3) more trail cards and two (2) for hunter over fences you can apply for the SA Event – Hunter award.

The application and cards will need to be to the Region X Awards Coordinator by May 1st to receive awards by the “Summer Solstice” show weekend (assuming in June). Or by October 1st to receive awards by TRXC in November. If you can not make it to these shows your award will be mailed to you.
