Who Is Eligible?

Any member of ARABs Inc. All competitors must be financial members of ARABs Inc in order to be eligible to gain points in any category.

No points shall be allocated in any competition to non-financial members.

To be eligible, horses must be registered with the Arabian Horse Society of Australia (AHSA).

Rules & Standards of Behaviour

All competitors must comply with the respective rules and regulations of ARABs Inc, the AHSA, and of the individual show/event you are competing in or points will not receive recognition by the club for that event.

No points will be awarded for any horse/pony being shown in contravention of the Rules and Regulations of ARABs Inc or the AHSA.

Any exhibitor whose behaviour is such that during the course of a high point season they are subject to a suspension by the ARABs Inc Committee or AHSA will have all high point scores declared invalid for the season.

If any horse/pony entered in the high point is sold, the points obtained may be transferred to the new owner, providing the new owner is given the completed point score card and is a financial member of ARABs Inc. No points will be awarded prior to registration.

Horses must be three (3) years of age or older to compete in Section 2 – Versatile Arabian Under Saddle or Harness.

Where an entrant has multiple registrations, points may not be claimed for awards won in “Breed Classes” other than Arabian/Arabian Derivative. e.g. An Arabian Riding Pony also registered in RPSB may only claim points for awards won in the Arabian Breed Ring not the Riding Pony Ring . Similarly a Part Arabian registered in a Colour Breed Society may only claim points for awards in the Arabian Breed ring not in the Coloured ring.

Please note that points may be claimed for awards won in “Open Classes” e.g. Galloway, Hack etc as well as those won in the Arabian/Arabian Derivative classes at the same show. If you require any clarification on this please contact us.

All horses and handlers must nominate for the awards by completing a nomination form.

High Point Championship At ARABs Inc we understand that sometimes a little recognition goes a LONG way. We are implementing our High Point Championship once again. Why not sign up and show off your successes with fellow club members! The idea of the high point is to encourage a bit of healthy competition amongst members and give members the opportunity to receive some recognition for their successes. For each activity/event you attend and achieve an award i.e. a placing at a show, you can collect points, and at the end of the high point term you will be eligible for ARABs Inc awards under various categories.
