Award Year: November 2 of the previous year to November 1 of this year.
Eligibility: Rider must be a current member of MeCTA when points are earned. Points are given to the horse and rider as a team.
Recorded Points: Only events which are open to the public and are affiliated with MeCTA (are covered by MeCTA Liability Insurance) and are advertised in the MeCTA Omnibus & Calendar or Newsletter / Horse's Maine are eligible for point accumulation. Year End points are cumulative within each year. There is no minimum number of events required. Riders' points will be recorded from each competition, as submitted by the competition management.
****NOTE - Divisions with less than 3 starters will be awarded points at the next lower level (Elementary will earn half-points). A Year End Division with fewer than 3 contenders will not be awarded, although points will count towards JR/SR High Point Awards.
New for 2008: Only competitors in good financial standing with an event will be awarded year-end points for that event.
