Season
trophies are awarded only to ASAW
members in good standing and member
owner horses and ponies that have been
nominated for ASAW Awards. Points
earned by a contender prior to payment
of membership dues and nomination fees
will not be counted toward ASAW Season
Trophy Awards. All dues and fees
must be paid and received by the ASAW
Secretary prior to showing for point
credits by ASAW.
top
To qualify for an
ASAW Award, horses and ponies must be owned and
nominated by a member of ASAW. A
nomination fee of $5.00/horse or pony and
$5.00/Equitation rider must be paid prior to
showing for earned point credits toward ASAW
Season Trophy Awards.
The stated name
of the horse or pony being nominated must be the
same as it appears on the horse's or pony's
registration papers. Notification of a
horse's or pony's name change must be submitted
in writing to the ASAW Secretary before points
can be counted for Season Trophy Awards.

When a horse
or pony is sold prior to the end of a
season, earned points already credited
by ASAW will remain with, and be awarded
to, the previous owner unless or until a
transfer of points is submitted to the
Secretary. Points will be
transferred to a new owner only upon
receipt by the Secretary of a statement
of consent, submitted in writing and
signed by both the previous and new
owners of the horse or pony.
No
transfer of points earned prior to a
horse's or pony's sale, or credit of
points earned subsequent to a horse's or
pony's sale will be made to any owner
who is not, or does not become a member
of ASAW. New owners are not
required to re-nominate a horse or pony
for credit of points earned after a sale
if both parties consent to transfer of
points.

For purposes of ASAW
competition rules, the age of an exhibitor is
determined on December 1st and remains
throughout the following show season.
Exhibitors born on December 1st will assume the
greater age on that date.
top
Points
earned will be credited as specified in
the ASAW Trophy Class List regardless of
age group division of classes at
individual member shows. For
example, a rider age 15, competing in
classes for riders age 17 & Under will
have all points credited toward ASAW's
14 through 17 awards.
All 10
and under equitation rider nominations
must declare whether the rider is
competing for pleasure equitation or
saddleseat equitation points.
Failure to declare will result in no
points credited until a written
declaration has been received by the
ASAW Secretary.

Misrepresentation of
a horse's or pony's ownership name, eligibility
for a class and/or division, or other
information on a show entry form shall result in
forfeiture of any ribbons, trophies, cash prizes
or points earned. For example, the first
class a horse or pony is shown at a show
declares its Division.
...misrepresentation of its eligibility and will
result in forfeiture of winnings from that
cross-entered class. A horse or pony
entered under an Owner Name other than what is
recorded on the horse's or pony's registration
papers is considered misrepresentation and will
result in forfeiture of all points from that
show.
top
Complaints
regarding ASAW Rules violations must be
submitted in writing to the ASAW
Secretary for review by the Board not
later than ten (10) days following the
alleged infraction. Any reported
and confirmed rules violations or acts
of discourtesy or disobedience to judges
and/or Member Show officials by a Member
or Member Associate (i.e., trainer,
rider, grooms, etc.) shall result in
forfeit of ASAW points and
disqualification from ASAW Season Trophy
competition at the discretion of the
ASAW Board of Directors.

Members will
be credited with all points earned from
classes held at a show that is cancelled
any time during its scheduled show
dates.

not, under any circumstances, be held
responsible in any way for any loss,
