2008 YEAR END
AWARDS PROGRAM
To be eligible for Year End Awards for BREA the following
rules apply (click here for a .PDF
copy or click here for a
Word copy of the 2008 BREA Year End Award Rules):
-
The competitor must be a
member in good standing at the time of the competition. If the competitor
has not joined BREA before the competition, his/her placing at that
competition will not count towards Year-End Awards.
-
Senior competitors must have
completed at least four (4) hours and Junior competitors must have completed
at least six (6) hours of volunteer service to the organization
by November 1st of the current year. The Volunteer Chairperson will
maintain a master list of volunteer hours. It will be noted in the
Points-to-Date standings whether the volunteer requirement has been met.
All riders must complete the volunteer hour requirement for Year-End Awards
on their own. It is the responsibility of the member to send his/her signed
Volunteer Hours Record in to the Volunteer Chairperson if he/she wishes to
compete for Year End Awards as soon as he/she has completed four (4) or six
(6) hours.
Volunteer hours may also be submitted using the Volunteer Hours Submission
Form below.
-
For any hours performed
beyond four (4) if a senior and six (6) if a junior, the member will receive a voucher at the rate of five
dollars ($5) for each four (4) hours performed that may be used as cash for
entries to BREA sponsored competitions and for membership dues. The
vouchers can be used to pay for up to half of BREA show entries and/or BREA
membership dues. Any person can perform volunteer work for a BREA member to
earn these vouchers.
-
Members are not required to
compete in a BREA-sponsored show to be eligible for a Year-End Award.
However, if a member does not compete in a BREA-sponsored show in the
current year, that member must complete and additional four (4) volunteer
hours (for a total of eight (8) if a senior and ten (10) if a junior volunteer hours) to be eligible for a
Year-End Award. The BREA-sponsored events for 2007 are scheduled for May 3,
June 28, August 9, and October 11. All the sponsored events will be held at
Green Hill Park Equestrian Center in Salem, VA.

Points will be accepted from
BREA-sponsored, BREA-sanctioned, or any USEA-recognized competitions. Any
unrecognized Combined Test or Horse Trial in USEA Area II or Area III is
considered “sanctioned”. Points from BREA-sponsored competitions will
automatically be tallied by the Points Chairperson. Points tallied from
recognized and “sanctioned” competitions are the responsibility of the
member. A completed Points Validation Form signed by the Show Secretary
must be received by the Points Chairperson within thirty (30) days of the
competition. Members can mail show results printed from a website or
obtained from the show secretary to the Points Chairperson within thirty
(30) days of the competition. The printed results must include all of the
following information: (1) show date, (2) horse trials or combined test,
(3) division, (4) final placing, and (5) number of starters. All points must
be submitted to the Points Chairperson by December 1 of the current year.

Awards will be presented to the rider accumulating the greatest number of
points on a single horse at a single level. Therefore, if a horse and rider
pair move up from one level to the next during the year, the two sets of
points are accumulated separately and the pair could win awards at both
levels.

include Green (two feet), Beginner Novice (two feet six inches), Novice,
Training, Preliminary, and Intermediate. Each level may be divided into two
divisions: Junior (age 18 and under) and Senior. A Championship and a
Reserve Championship will be awarded to the first (1st) and second (2nd)
place riders respectively, with ribbons awarded for the remaining places. A
Junior High Point Award, and Senior High Point Award, and a Horse High Point
Award will be presented to the respective parties who accumulate the most
total points during the year. Ribbons only will be awarded for the Cross
Rail division.
-
Once a
horse and rider combination has been awarded the Championship for Green,
Beginner Novice, or Novice level, that pair will not be eligible for the
Championship at the same level in the future.
-
Points will
be accumulated from December 1st through November 30th. Awards will be
presented at the Year End Awards Banquet.

a tie, the award will go to the rider with the greatest number of first
place points.
