ARTICLE VIII—Class Conditions, Point Keeping and Year End Awards

Section 1.

CLASS CONDITIONS are as shown in the National Reining Horse Association Handbook with the addition of the following class:

NRRHA Green Horse: Horse not earning more than $250.00 Lifetime earnings.
NRRHA Green Rider: Rider not earning more than $150.00 Lifetime earnings.
NRRHA Senior-Non Pro: Any Non Pro rider age 50 and over.

Section 2.

POINT KEEPING. NRRHA year-end rankings shall be computed using the NRHA Youth Point System through ten (10) places, based on the number of horses competing in any class rather than the money earned system previously used.
(As adopted by the vote of the General Membership in February 2007.)

Section 3.

YEAR END AWARDS. The owner (as listed on the registration papers) and rider must be a current NRRHA member in good standing for points earned to count toward Year-End Awards. The points are not counted retroactive, only from the day of enrollment to the end of the point year.

A points record will be kept for each of the following reining classes:
• NRHA Open
• NRHA Intermediate Open
• NRHA Limited Open
• NRHA Non-Pro
• NRHA Intermediate Non Pro
• NRHA Limited Non Pro
• NRHA Rookie
• NRHA Rookie Professional
• NRHA Youth 14-18
• NRHA Youth 13 & Under
• NRHA Novice Horse Open
• NRHA Novice Horse Non Pro
• NRRHA Green Horse
• NRRHA Green Rider
• NRRHA Senior Non Pro


Recognition in the form of "Year-End Award" will be made to the winners in each class category. The points will be awarded on "one horse/one rider" combination. Points will be tabulated with one point for each horse/rider competing through ten (10) places. Riders and horses must attend all NRRHA hosted shows to be eligible for NRRHA Year End Awards.

All entries are subject to class conditions as prescribed by NRRHA. Objections to the validity of entries must be made in writing to NRRHA within ten (10) days of show for investigation. Entries found to be in violation of class conditions will forfeit all points accumulated in that show year. Note: It is the responsibility of the owner/rider to be aware of the NRRHA status of horse/rider.
