Stock Horse of Texas Association Merit Points
- Consistent with other SHOT policies, the Merit award is a joint award for a one horse/one rider combination earned in either the Non-Pro or Open Division in an approved Stock Horse of Texas Association Show.
- SHOT Merit Points shall be awarded to a one horse/one rider team showing in all four classes and based on the number of entries in the All-Around or High Point Division up to a maximum of 10 points. (Example: horses may receive a maximum of 10 SHOT Merit points for being the high-point horse, 9 points for reserve, and 8 points for third, down to 1 Merit point for placing 10 th high overall. If only 8 horses are entered in the All-Around – the high point horse will receive 8 points, down to 1 Merit point for placing 8 th high overall.)
- To receive SHOT Merit Points, a SHOT Merit Points Enrollment Form must be completed and filed in the SHOT office and both the rider and the owner must be current members in good standing of the Stock Horse of Texas Association.
- A horse may receive points with more than one rider, but the points cannot be added together for more than one rider or transferred to another rider. Horses that change riders must start over in accumulating Merit points for the Superior or Supreme Awards. Ownership may change, but the rider must remain constant.
