Region X Achievement Awards

Qualifications for Region X Achievement Awards
Updated August 2025

The purpose of the Region X Achievement Awards is to recognize and reward models in Region X that have performed successfully at multiple Region X Qualifying Live Shows.

To qualify for this program, shows must have been recognized as "Region X Qualifying Shows" and have awarded designated Region X Cards to models placing first or second in Open Level Halter or Performance classes.

  • Green cards (B) are for Breed classes
  • Yellow cards (N) are for Workmanship (AR/CM) or Collectability (OF) classes
  • Pink cards (P) are for Performance classes
  • Blue cards (*) are earned only at The Region X Championships (TRXC) in Stakes Classes. These are awarded to the Champions and Reserve Champions, and to the remaining Top Five if the Stakes class had 10 or more entries. These cards are an extra "wild card" for the Breed, Workmanship, Collectibility, or Performance class in which the model won it (e.g., "Reining" in Western Patterned Stakes, or "Arabian" in AR/CM or OF Light Breeds Stakes).

Each Region X Achievement award specifies the number of appropriate Region X Cards required for that award, and whether the recipient can earn either a Certificate Only, or a Certificate, custom Pouch Patch and/or custom Ceramic Tile. The cost of each option is listed. Please remember: a portion of the proceeds from the program covers the cost of the awards themselves, and a portion helps raise funds for the Region X Treasury for TRXC expenses. Thank you for your support!

To apply for a Region X Achievement Award, accumulate the required number of Region X Cards for the desired award and complete a Region X Achievement Award Application. The completed form should be mailed to the Region X Achievement Awards Coordinator as listed on the form, and payment should be made to the Region X Treasurer as directed.

Please note: submitted cards WILL NOT be returned to applicants! Therefore, obtain and keep appropriate extra Region X Cards as needed for Stakes entries at The Region X Championships!
