NORCAL
2008 Gelding Incentive Program
Purpose:
The purpose of the Gelding Incentive Program is to encourage owners to show their geldings and to geld all but the very best stallions/colts, thereby improving the quality of the breed.
Who is eligible?
All geldings entered in Norcal High Point-approved shows are eligible.
Nomination procedure:
An annual fee of $10 will be charged for each gelding entered. A separate form is required for each gelding nominated. Nominations, including appropriate fee, must be postmarked within 30 days after a show in order for points from that show to count. Members are encouraged to indicate on their show entry sheets if a gelding is entered in the Gelding Incentive Program. Nomination forms may be sent to Gelding Incentive Chairman at the address below.
Classifications:
Gelding incentive awards will be given in the following three categories:
Junior gelding / halter / performance
Senior gelding / halter / performance
Points will be earned on the same basis (1-6 points plus 3/5/10 for championships) as that used for High Point awards. Only those points earned, as a gelding will count. Halter and performance points will be combined for junior geldings due to the limited number of performance categories open to them.
How do Gelding Incentive Awards differ from High Point awards?
In order to encourage owners to enter their geldings in a wider variety and number of classes, all points earned in youth, amateur, open, AOTE, and challenged classes will be added together.
Funding:
Nomination fees and donations from the membership and outside supporters will fund the Gelding Incentive Program.
Awards:
All money collected will be given in cash awards. Awards will be presented to first, second and third place in the three categories outlined above. There is neither a minimum nor maximum cash award set. 60% of the money collected will be divided evenly among the three first place winners. 25% will be divided evenly between the three, second place winners. The remaining 15% will be divided evenly among the three third place winners.
