2nd Annual Cumberland Competition Series
We changed it up for 2015
There will be Series Champions and Reserve Champions awarded at the final show of the series in each divisions
below. There is NO membership requirement. You must simply show at all 3 of the shows below. (A double-judged show
counts as one show for eligibility.) All shows you exhibit at will count toward your series-end point total.
Here’s the “Twist” – Not only are the awards by divisions rather than classes, but the Series Final standings are
scored uniquely. Here’s how it works: At each show, for each division, points in each designated class will be awarded for
first through sixth place (10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1 pt respectively including Champs if offered). Total points from each show will be
added together for the Series Championship. Series point ties will be broken by the numbers of firsts, then seconds, all the
way until 6ths as needed. At a double-judged show, each judge’s pinning’s will be counted separately.
The Divisions:
High Point Miniature Horse: All Miniature Horse classes at each show will be pointed for the series.
High Point Standardbred Horse: All Standardbred classes will be pointed for the series.
High Point Halter Horse: One qualifying class (English Horse in Hand, Western Horse in Hand, Open Halter Junior
Handler) AND Open Halter Championship, if offered, will count. If you show in multiple qualifier classes, then your highest placing
will be the only one that counts.
High Point Hunter: Hunter Pleasure Horse, Hunter Pleasure Horse Championship,
High Point Western: MHA Western Pleasure, Western Horse in Hand
High Point Junior Exhibitor: Junior Exhibitor Hack, Youth Activity Pleasure, Open Halter Junior Handler
