Distance Jackpot
Sign up before your first ride to start counting your yearly points!
The Jackpot is open to all registered AHA pure, half, or Anglo Arabs completing endurance rides and CTR in Region 4 (Oregon and ID, except Prater, which is Region 5). Each entered horse completing any of the Region 4 endurance rides/CTR in the current ride year will be eligible for a cash award. The Region 4 Championship ride/CTR is not part of this award system, just the regular rides and CTR.
The cost is $25 to enter. Region 4 rides count from the time you sign up. Registration forms have to be mailed to Region 4 with your check, to Barb Garcia, 9832 Jordan St. SE, Aumsville, OR 97325. NOT to Carlene Benson. All points go to the horse regardless of who the rider is but every rider needs an AHA competition card.
Riders/owners do NOT need to be members of a Region 4 club to participate or live in Region 4, but all riders need an AHA competition card for the points to be recorded and the cards are less expensive through a local club.
Points are calculated from ride results posted on the AHA and AERC website. New this year, points will be calculated giving weight to placing and distance. Your competition is the other horses signed up for this award. Points will be posted monthly so you can keep track of your competition!
Year-end disbursements will be made to the owner on the entry form in the following amounts for each category with entries:
First Place 35% (of the total pool available – all entry fees plus $700 from Region 4)
Second place 25%
Third Place 20%
Fourth Place 10%
Fifth Place 10%
There will be no money carried forward from year to year. In the event there are fewer than five entries, the pool will be disbursed on a pro-rated basis according to the actual number of entries in the category. To earn prize money, the entry must earn at least one point. The full amount of funds collected will be paid out in awards. There is also added money form Region 4. The first-place horse in each category will be eligible to have a picture posted on the Region 4 website.
In case of a tie, the money allotted for the tied entries will be split evenly.
Cost per horse is $25
Checks should be made payable to Region 4 AHA. Points are accumulated at Region 4 Qualifying Endurance /CTR rides posted on the AERC and AHA websites.
Only points earned in competitions or after entry is made are eligible. Please read ALL the rules before you enter.
Don't wait, sign up now!
