AWARDS AND PAYBACK

BREEDER'S CUP: A Breeders' Cup trophy, along with championship ribbons through ten places will be awarded.

Sire/Dam nomination fees will be split equally among the three age groups and combined with the fees collected for each 

individual class to deter­mine the payback for that particular class. (For example, one third of all sire/dam fees will be allocated to the weanling division, then split equally between the open, amateur owned, and heritage classes.)

BREEDER'S CHOICE: To qualify for the Breeders' Choice Award, a horse must be nominated and shown as a weanling, yearling, and two-year-old in the Sweepstakes Class appropriate for that division at the SSHBEA Fall Show.

A horse may show in more than one class within its division each year, but only the highest placing will count toward the Breeder's Choice Award.

The horse accumulating the highest number of points over the three-year-period (awarded according to placement in each division) will receive the Breeder's Choice Award.
