Points are to be awarded only to AAA members and AAA horses in the following manner: Take the number of horses in the class: Example #1 – 17 horses total and then your place in the class 5th … Then you would have gained 13 points per that judge’s placing. You only gain points for a placing that you received. If you placed 7th and they do not award a 7th place, you get 1 point. If you place 6th you would get 12 points per judge’s placing if there were 17 horses in the class. If you were the only one in the class, you would earn 1 point. We give you credit for going into the class. If your class total is 2 including yourself and you won, you would still earn 2 points. Points are gathered under every judge at the show if a sanctioned show judge (not apprentices).
